Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - And some fell upon a rock. The picture here is not of a soil full of stones, but of a rocky portion of the corn-land where the rock is only covered with a thin layer of earth.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Upon a rock.--Better, upon the rock. Note here also the use of a more accurate word than the "stony (or rocky) ground" of the other two reports, and the statement that it withered "because it lacked moisture." This is obviously not without its force in the spiritual interpretation of the parable, the "moisture" being the dew and rain of God's grace, without which the seed could not put forth its roots. This represents one aspect of what was lacking, as the having "no depth of earth "represents another.
