John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:18

And these are they that are sown among thorns ,.... Such hearers of the word are designed by the thorny ground, upon which other seed fell, as it was sown, who are of worldly dispositions; who are immoderately careful and anxious about the things of this life, and are bent upon acquiring earthly riches, and gratifying their carnal and sensual appetites: such as hear the word ; who notwithstanding are prevailed upon through custom, or the dictates of their consciences, to attend upon the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:19

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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:20

And these are they which are sown on good ground ,.... Such hearers who are intended by the good ground on which other seed fell, are those who are made good men by the grace of God; for there is none good naturally, nor that doeth good, no not one; these are such who hear the word, and receive it ; as the word of God, in whose hearts it works effectually; who receive it not into their heads only, but into their hearts; and having received it, hold it fast, and abide by it in the worst... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:21

And he said unto them ,.... At the same time, after he had explained the parable of the sower; for though the following parabolical and proverbial expressions were delivered by Christ at other, and different times, and some of them twice, as related by other evangelists; yet they might be all of them expressed or repeated at this time, by our Lord, showing why he explained the above parable to his disciples; and that though he delivered the mysteries of the Gospel in parables to them that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 4:22

For there is nothing hid ,.... In these parables, and figurative expressions used by Christ, which shall not be manifested , sooner or later, to his disciples: neither was any thing kept secret ; any doctrine of the Gospel, or mystery of the kingdom: but that it should come abroad ; it was designed to be published in all Judea, and afterwards, throughout the whole world, for the benefit of God's chosen ones, to their conversion, comfort, and edification: wherefore it becomes the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:13

Know ye not this parable? - The scope and design of which is so very obvious. How then will ye know all parables? - Of which mode of teaching ye should be perfect masters, in order that ye may be able successfully to teach others. This verse is not found in any of the other evangelists. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:15

These are they - Probably our Lord here refers to the people to whom he had just now preached, and who, it is likely, did not profit by the word spoken. Where the word is sown - Instead of this clause, four copies of the Itala read the place thus - They who are sown by the way side, are they Who Receive The Word Negligently. There are thousands of this stamp in the Christian world. Reader, art thou one of them? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:19

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! read more

Is a candle - put under a bushel! - The design of my preaching is to enlighten men; my parables not being designed to hide the truth, but to make it more manifest. read more
