Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - And when the sun was up (ἀνατείλαντος). It can hardly be accidental that the Greek suggests the contrast between the springing up of the seeds and of the sun's rays. They were scorched; and because they had not root, they withered away (cf. John 15:6).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Because they had no root.--Or, as in Luke 8:6, "because they lacked moisture." The growth had been over-rapid, and the presence of the underlying rock at once made the heat more intense, and deprived the plant of the conditions of resistance.
