Lukas 8:6-7

8:6 Other seed fell on rock, ¹  and when it came up, it withered because it had no moisture. 8:7 Other seed fell among the thorns, ²  and they grew up with it and choked ³  it.

[8:6]  ¹ sn The rock in Palestine would be a limestone base lying right under the soil.

[8:7]  ² sn Palestinian weeds like these thorns could grow up to six feet in height and have a major root system.

[8:7]  ³ sn That is, crowded out the good plants.
