In Mark 4:5 and Matthew 13:5, the form ἐξανέτειλεν describes what the seed does immediately after falling on rocky ground with little soil. In Mark 4:5 the APB renders the clause “immediately it sprang up,” while in Matthew 13:5 it renders “it immediately sprouted.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “sprang up” in Mark 4:5 and “sprouted” in Matthew 13:5. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
