What Stood Out |
Mat. 13:5 – Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: (2024) – Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth [John Gill comments: "through the reflection of the heat, upon the rocks and stones, they quickly broke through the thin surface of the earth over them, and appeared above ground before the usual time of the springing up of seed." Cf. John 6:26-27,66 – Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. ... From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.] (2020) – Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth [John Gill points out that the rock close to the surface reflects the heat, causing the seed to sprout faster.] (2019) – Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth [How does shallow soil make them spring up faster?]
