L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:1-41

His teaching now at the seaside corresponds to Matthew 13:1-58, but only two of the seven parables in Matthew are mentioned here, for Matthew gives a full dispensational picture, while Mark dwells simply on public service and its results. The Lord speaks from the boat to the crowd on land. The sower is certainly Himself, God's true Servant, faithfully sowing the seed of the Word of God (v.14) broadcast in the field, which is the world (Matthew 13:38). This is not to be limited to the personal... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 4:1-41

PARABLES AND MIRACLES This lesson contains the parables of the sower, the candle, the seed growing secretly and the mustard seed (Mark 4:1-34 ); and the miracles of the stilling of the storm, the healing of the Gadarene and the woman with the issue of blood, and the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 ). The parables of the sower (Mark 4:1-20 ) and the mustard seed (Mark 4:30-34 ) are the only two out of the seven in Matthew 13:0 which Mark records. The whole of the seven... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 4:1-41

The Parable of the Sower [An Analysis] Mark 4:0 The work of Christ and the general preaching of the Gospel are represented in this simple illustration. From it we learn 1. That a general proclamation is attended by particular results. This is notable, because one would have imagined that any declaration of God's will would have elicited an instantaneous, universal, and satisfactory response. The only difference which could have been supposed would be that each would be striving to excel the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 4:26-29

(26) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground: (27) And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. (28) For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (29) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. I consider this Parable, though short, yet as sweet, as either of our... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 4:30-34

(30) And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? (31) It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: (32) But when it is sown, it groweth up, and be cometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. (33) And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear ... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 4:29

When the fruit is brought forth: literally, when the fruit [1] hath produced. By the fruit is here meant the seed; i.e. when the seed by degrees hath produced the blade, then the ear, and lastly the corn, which is become ripe. (Witham) --- This is a secondary sense of the text, when the fruit hath come to maturity, and by no means a forced interpretation. =============================== [BIBLIOGRAPHY] Cum produxerit fructus. In the Greek, fructus is in the nominative case; Greek: otan de... read more
