Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 4:26-29

Our evangelist alone taketh notice of this parable, nor hath it any particular explication annexed. If we expound it with relation to what went before, the scope of it seemeth to be, to let us know that God will have an account of men for their hearing of his word, and therefore men had need to take heed what they hear, as Mark saith, and how they hear, as Luke phrases it: thus Mark 4:29 expounds the former, with the help of our Saviour’s exposition of the parable of the tares, on which he had... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 4:30-32

We met with this parable in Matthew 13:31,Matthew 13:32, where the reader will find we have given the sense of it. It is a prophetical parable, foretelling the great success that the gospel, which at this time was restrained to a little corner of the world, and there met with small acceptance, should have after Christ’s resurrection from the dead; which prophecy we find was fulfilled in the apostles’ time, and hath been further fulfilling in all ages of the world since that time. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 4:33-34

From hence we may gather that all the parables by which our Saviour instructed his hearers are not recorded by the evangelists, though many be, and some mentioned by one, some by two of them, which are not recorded by the other. As they were able to hear it. Christ disdained not to accommodate his style and method of preaching to his hearers’ capacity, neither will any faithful minister of Christ do it: he preacheth in the best style, language, and method, that preacheth best to the capacity,... read more

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 4:29. But as soon as the fruit is mature, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, etc. Cp. Joel 4:13 (LXX.). See also 1 Peter 1:23-25; Revelation 14:14-15.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Mark 4:26-29The parable of the growing corn.—It is remarkable that St. Mark alone should report this parable, and it is more than remarkable because it is the only parable which he alone has reported. It is very brief, has no interpretation attached to it, and looks at first... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Mark 4:30-34(PARALLELS: Matthew 13:31-32; Luke 13:18-19.)The rise and progress of Christianity.—I. Christianity is insignificant in its beginning.—1. Its Founder assumed a humble form. 2. Its first advocates were obscure. 3. Its sphere of action was confined. 4. Its first converts were few. 5. Its mode of operation was unassuming. 6. Its reception was unpopular.II. Christianity is gradual in its progress—1. The difficulties with which it has to contend are... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:26-29

Mark 4:26-29 We have in this parable: I. A most simple, yet striking representation of the business, and, at the same time, the helplessness of the spiritual husbandman. To the ministers of the Gospel, who are the great moral labourers in the field of the world, there is entrusted the task of preparing the soil and casting in the seed. And if they bring to the task all the fidelity and all the diligence of intent and single-eyed labourers, if by a faithful publication of the grand truths of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:26-33

Mark 4:26-33 Christ's Idea of Christianity. I. The kingdom of God, or the beginning of a truly religious life in the soul of a man, may be obscure, imperceptible and unconscious. When a man is building a house he sees it as it goes on. That is an outside matter. A man goes into his garden and plants seed. He may sit up all night with spectacles and a lantern, but he will not see anything going on; and yet there is something going on which is vitally connected with the whole operation of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:28-29

Mark 4:28-29 The seed cast into the ground is undoubtedly to be understood of the knowledge of good which may be at any time laid before the mind of another. We have an opportunity, it may be, of doing this; a person is with us for a certain time, and then perhaps is removed from us; we must even leave the seed to itself and go on our way trusting that God in His good providence will preserve it, and make it spring up in its season. I. It may be asked, What is the lesson we are to learn from... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:30

Mark 4:30 The kingdom of God is not the Church, but a far wider, vast, outlying region; where Jehovah's omnipotence and wisdom with, indeed, all His glorious attributes reign absolutely. The Church is the centre of this kingdom; the kingdom, the outlying territory of the Church. I. This doctrine of the kingdom of God as distinct from the Church will assist us in the interpretation of many passages of Scripture, and notably of our Lord's parables. To take one instance, there is the question... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:30-32

Mark 4:30-32 I. Observe the minuteness of the seed which is ordinarily first deposited by God's Spirit in man's heart. If you examine the records of Christian biography, you will find, so far as it is possible to search out such facts, that conversion is commonly to be traced to inconsiderable beginnings, a single word, a solitary verse, a casual expression, one of these it is which, in the vast variety of cases, settles down into the heart, and after lying buried there a year it may be, or two... read more
