Mark 4:29-34 KJV

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 4:33

This seems to contradict what was said [in] ver. 12, that seeing they may not see, &c.; but we must observe, that parables have more explanations than one, some more easy, whilst others are more difficult to be understood. In parables, the multitude understood the more literal interpretation, whilst Christ explains the more abstruse and hidden sense to his apostles. Hence there is no contradiction in these texts.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:21-34

21-34 These declarations were intended to call the attention of the disciples to the word of Christ. By his thus instructing them, they were made able to instruct others; as candles are lighted, not to be covered, but to be placed on a candlestick, that they may give light to a room. This parable of the good seed, shows the manner in which the kingdom of God makes progress in the world. Let but the word of Christ have the place it ought to have in a soul, and it will show itself in a good... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 4:1-99

Mark 4 THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER ends with the Lord’s solemn declaration that the relationships He was now going to recognize were those that had a spiritual basis in obedience to the will of God. This statement of His must necessarily have raised in the minds of the disciples some questions as to how they might know what tile will of God is. As we open this chapter we find the answer. It is by His word, which conveys to us tidings of what He is, and of what He has done for us. Out of these... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 4:26-29

The parable of the seed: v. 26. And He said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground, v. 27. and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. v. 28. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. v. 29. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle because the harvest is come. Here is another parable,... read more

Parable of the grain of mustard-seed: v. 30. And He said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison shall we compare it? v. 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; v. 32. But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. It is not a matter of indifference, but... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 4:33-34

The end of the parables: v. 33. And with many such parables spake He the Word unto them, as they were able to hear it. v. 34. But without a parable spake He not unto them; and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples. The parables here related by Mark were by no means all that the Lord spoke on that day, whether in the boat or at home. The ones given here are only a few of many. He tried to fit the instruction to the understanding of His hearers, especially that of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 4:1-34

3. Our Lord’s Conflict with the carnal Unbelief of the People in the Delivery of His Parables, and His Triumph over Human Narrowness. (Mark 4:1-34)(Parallels: Matthew 13:1-23; Mark 4:31-35; Luke 8:4-18)1And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered1 unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a [the] ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2And he taught them many things by parables, 3and said unto them in his doctrine,... read more

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

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
