Marcos 4:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:17

And have no root in themselves
The word has no root in their hearts, only in their natural affections: nor is the root of grace in them; there is no heart work, only speculative notions, and flashy affections:

and so endure but for a time:
they continue hearers and professors of the Gospel but for a small season; like the Jews, who rejoiced in the ministry of John the Baptist for a while, and then left him:

afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's
sake, immediately they are offended.
As soon as any small degree of trouble comes upon them, and especially when there is a hot persecution of the professors of religion, because of the Gospel they have embraced; such hearers are stumbled at these things, and cannot bear the loss of any thing, or endure any thing severe for the sake of the word they have professed a pleasure in; and therefore, rather than suffer, they relinquish at once their profession of it.

Marcos 4:17 In-Context

15 Y estos son los que est谩n junto al camino donde se siembra la palabra, aquellos que en cuanto la oyen, al instante viene Satan谩s y se lleva la palabra que se ha sembrado en ellos.
16 Y de igual manera, estos en que se sembr贸 la semilla en pedregales son los que al o铆r la palabra enseguida la reciben con gozo;
17 pero no tienen ra铆z profunda en s铆 mismos, sino que s贸lo son temporales. Entonces, cuando viene la aflicci贸n o la persecuci贸n por causa de la palabra, enseguida tropiezan y caen.
18 Otros son aquellos en los que se sembr贸 la semilla entre los espinos; 茅stos son los que han o铆do la palabra,
19 pero las preocupaciones del mundo, y el enga帽o de las riquezas, y los deseos de las dem谩s cosas entran y ahogan la palabra, y se vuelve est茅ril.
