"And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And some fell among thorns,.... On ground which had within it the roots of thorns and briars; and design such hearers who have their hearts filled with worldly cares, and
sensual lusts and pleasures: and the thorns sprang up with it; and grew faster than that: and choked it; as the above things do the word, and make it useless and unprofitable; so that though it took place for a while, and was professed, yet process of time was neglected and dropped; and, as Mark says, "it yielded no fruit"; at least that came to perfection.
