Mark 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:20

And these are they which are sown on good ground
Such hearers who are intended by the good ground on which other seed fell, are those who are made good men by the grace of God; for there is none good naturally, nor that doeth good, no not one; these are

such who hear the word, and receive it;
as the word of God, in whose hearts it works effectually; who receive it not into their heads only, but into their hearts; and having received it, hold it fast, and abide by it in the worst of times:

and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an
hundred;
all bring forth good fruit of the same quality, though not of the same quantity: for a larger exposition of this explanation of the parable, see the notes on ( Matthew 13:19-23 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 13:19). (See Gill on Matthew 13:20). (See Gill on Matthew 13:21). (See Gill on Matthew 13:22). (See Gill on Matthew 13:23).
