Contextual Overview
1 Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water. 2 Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said, 3 "Listen: the sower goes out to sow. 4 As he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and the birds come and peck it up. 5 Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil; 6 but when the sun is risen, it is scorched, and through having no root it withers away. 7 Some, again, falls among the thorns; and the thorns spring up and stifle it, so that it yields no crop. 8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and gives a return: it comes up and increases, and yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred-fold." 9 "Listen," He added, "every one who has ears to listen with!" 10 When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the cares of this world,.... The perplexing and distressing cares of it to get as much of it as they can, for themselves and families, fill their minds, and possess their souls even when and while they are hearing the word: and the deceitfulness of riches; or riches which are deceitful, especially when trusted in, and being obtained, they do not give the satisfaction they promise: and the lusts of other things entering in: carnal desires after other objects, which are pleasing to the sensual mind, entering into their hearts, and gaining, the ascendant there: choke the word, and it, becometh unfruitful; these being more attended to than the word is, that is quite lost, and becomes useless, and unprofitable.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 13:18-23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 19. The deceitfulness of riches — This is variously expressed in different copies of the Itala: the errors - delights of the world - completely alienated (abolienati) by the pleasures of the world. The lusts of other things - which have not been included in the anxious cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches. All, all, choke the word!
