Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

But others fell into good ground,.... Not beaten and trodden by the feet of men, nor stony, nor thorny, but well broke up, manured, and tilled; which designs good, honest hearted hearers who become so by the Spirit and grace of God; who with a spiritual understanding, experience, savour, and relish, what they hear; see Matthew 13:23

Vincent's Word Studies

A hundred-fold

Mentioned as something extraordinary. Compare Genesis 26:12. Herodotus (i., 93) says of Babylonia, "In grain it is so fruitful as to yield commonly two-hundred-fold; and when the production is the greatest, even three-hundred-fold."


Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Into good ground - The fertile and rich soil.

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Good ground - Where the earth was deep, the field well ploughed, and the brambles and weeds all removed. See more on Matthew 13:19 (note), etc., and see on Luke 8:15 (note).

Geneva Study Bible

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.


People's New Testament

13:8 But others fell into good ground. The goodness of this last soil consists in its qualities being precisely the reverse of the other three soils. It was not hard, stony, or weedy.

Some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Thirty-fold is now really a first-rate crop, even for such plains as Esdraelon, just below Nazareth. But in the time of Christ there might be realized, in favorable circumstances, a hundred-fold. Intelligent gentlemen (in the plain of Esdraelon) maintain that they have themselves reaped more than a hundred-fold ( Land and Book ).


Wesley's Notes

13:8 Good ground - Soft, not like that by the highway side; deep, not like the stony ground; purged, not full of thorns.
