Marcos 4:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:16

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground,
&c.] Such sort of hearers of the word are signified by the stony ground, on which the seed were sown, who are constant hearers of the word, and have some understanding of it, and some sort of affection for it, and yet their hearts are not truly broken by it; they are not brought to a thorough sight and sense of sin, and of their need of Christ, and salvation by him; their stony hearts are not taken away, and hearts of flesh given them:

who when they have heard the word immediately receive it with
gladness;
seem highly pleased, and greatly delighted with it, as being a well connected scheme things; and which declares things, as heaven and eternal happiness, which they, from a principle of self love, are desirous of enjoying.

Marcos 4:16 In-Context

14 El sembrador siembra la palabra.
15 Y estos son los que están junto al camino donde se siembra la palabra, aquellos que en cuanto la oyen, al instante viene Satanás y se lleva la palabra que se ha sembrado en ellos.
16 Y de igual manera, estos en que se sembró la semilla en pedregales son los que al oír la palabra enseguida la reciben con gozo;
17 pero no tienen raíz profunda en sí mismos, sino que sólo son temporales. Entonces, cuando viene la aflicción o la persecución por causa de la palabra, enseguida tropiezan y caen.
18 Otros son aquellos en los que se sembró la semilla entre los espinos; éstos son los que han oído la palabra,
