Marcos 4:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:10

And when he was alone
After the multitude was dismissed, and he either remained in the ship, or left it, and retired to some private place, it may be to Simon's house in Capernaum. The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, "when they were alone"; meaning as follows,

they that were about him with the twelve;
that is, such disciples of his, who, besides the twelve, constantly attended him; perhaps those who now were, or hereafter were the seventy disciples. The Vulgate Latin reads, "the twelve that were with him". In Beza's most ancient copy it is read, "his disciples"; and to this agrees the Persic version; and so the other evangelists, Matthew and Luke, relate, that his disciples came and

asked of him the parable;
the meaning of it, and why he chose this way of speaking to the people, ( Matthew 13:10 ) ( Luke 8:9 ) , though that word may include others besides the twelve.

Marcos 4:10 In-Context

8 Y otras semillas cayeron en buena tierra, y creciendo y desarrollándose, dieron fruto, y produjeron unas a treinta, otras a sesenta y otras a ciento por uno.

9 Y El decía: El que tiene oídos para oír, que oiga.

10 Cuando se quedó solo, sus seguidores junto con los doce, le preguntaban sobre las parábolas.

11 Y les decía: A vosotros os ha sido dado el misterio del reino de Dios, pero los que están afuera reciben todo en parábolas;

12 para que VIENDO VEAN PERO NO PERCIBAN, Y OYENDO OIGAN PERO NO ENTIENDAN, NO SEA QUE SE CONVIERTAN Y SEAN PERDONADOS.
