Mark 4:30-37 KJV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 4:10-41

Growth in God’s Kingdom Mark 4:10-41 How quick the Master was to observe the meaning of natural symbols! To Him all things were unfoldings of eternal mystery, and the ways of men unconsciously mirrored the unseen. Are there bushels in your life? Use them as lamp stands, not as coverings. All secrets come out; beware of what you say. All measures come back to us; take care how you mete. The mysterious co-operation of God in nature, and the gradual process of growth, are analogous to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 4:1-41

In verses Mark 4:1-2; Mark 4:10-12, we have the explanation of the reason of the parabolic teaching of Jesus. He clothed divine truth in picture forms that men might more easily look upon it and learn it, just as He Himself was veiled in human form that men might have some vision of God suited to their capacity. In verses Mark 4:3-9; Mark 4:13-20, we have the parable of the sower. He is the Sower. The results following His sowing are indifference, shallowness, insincerity, fruit. The... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Mark 4:24-41

Getting What You Give Mark 4:24-41 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There are many "as" and "sos" in the "Word of God. These cover various lines of consideration. Let us suggest one or two of these before we take up the study proper. Jesus said: "As Jonas * * so shall the Son of Man." Here is a comparison setting forth the experiences of Jonah in the whale's belly, and his being cast forth on to the land, as typical of Christ buried, and risen again. "As it was in the days of Lot," so in the days of the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 4:30-31

MARKS OF THE CHURCH‘Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God?… It is like a grain of mustard seed.’ Mark 4:30-Obadiah : What are the characteristics of the Church which would possess the future? What are the conditions under which alone the mustard seed, which has grown so high already, shall fill the world? I. Proclaims the love of God.—The future can only belong to a Church which believes and preaches the forth-reaching, energising, and active love of God. To be out of the warmth of the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 4:34

ALONE WITH CHRIST‘And when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.’ Mark 4:34 There is nothing like the direct teaching of Christ. It makes everything so very plain, so individual, so precious. And the ordinance of the pulpit will be to very little good if it do not send you into the privacy of your own room, there to have it all over again from Him to your separate and salient heart. I. The disciple’s privilege.—Let us take care that we lay its proper and comforting stress... read more

CHRIST IN THE TEMPEST‘And the same day, when the even was come, He saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.… What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?’ Mark 4:35-: Let us see what lessons concerning Christ and His Church may be gathered from this incident. I. The terror of the disciples.—The Rationalism of the present day sees nothing in the narrative but the account of a passing squall. Yet, if this be so, is it not strange that all the Synoptists... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:1-34

The Message of the Kingly Rule of God Will Now Be Spread Widely and Will Produce Abundant Fruit (4:1-34). As we have already seen the Gospel began with Jesus Christ as God’s beloved Son and has gradually built up to the idea of the new community of believers who hear His words and do the will of His Father who are His brothers and sisters (Mark 3:34-35). These are the first proclaimed members of the newly established Kingly Rule of God. Now that is to be expanded on. That is why Jesus will now... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:26-32

Two Parables Emphasising New Birth and Growth (4:26-32). Jesus follow up the parable of the sower with two parables about new birth and growth. In these the seed of the word is sown, and it produces new life and steady growth as God’s rain falls on it (Isaiah 55:10 where it is literally ‘bring to birth and sprout/grow’). The first parable emphasises the secrecy but certainty of the result because it is God Who is at work, and the second parable the rapidly expanding nature of the outstanding... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:30-32

‘And he said, “How shall we liken the Kingly Rule of God, or in what picture (parabolos) shall we set it forth? It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it is sown on the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out sizeable branches so that the birds of the air can shelter under their shadow.” ’ The contrast here is one of size. The commencement seems very small but the growth is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:33-34

‘And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. And he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.’ It is clear from these words that Jesus taught many parables of which we have no record. These were but a selection. And it seems from what Mark says here that they were used by Jesus to stir men’s interest without intending to enlighten them overmuch unless they responded. He wanted to stir their... read more
