Marcos 4:8

8 Pero otras semillas cayeron en tierra fértil, y germinaron y crecieron, ¡y produjeron una cosecha que fue treinta, sesenta y hasta cien veces más numerosa de lo que se había sembrado!».

Marcos 4:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:8

And other fell on good ground
The word was preached to some whose hearts were disposed by the Spirit and grace of God to receive it; and their understandings were enlightened by it; and they had a savoury and comfortable experience of the truths of it, it coming with power to them; it was a good word to them, and through the grace of God they became good by it; a good work of grace was wrought upon their souls, and they were filled with all goodness and righteousness:

and did yield fruit that sprang up, and increased;
they not only appeared, and made an outward profession of the word, and brought forth a little show of fruit, which comes to nothing, as in others; but they were filled with the fruits of righteousness, and increased with the increase of God, and grew in grace, and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, and continued to bring forth fruit to the end of their lives:

and brought forth some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred;
that is, so many fold: in some the word of God produced larger and greater effects; the grace of God was more in exercise in some, than in others, and some were more fruitful and useful; yet in all of them there was true grace, and a measure of it; some degree of lively exercise, and some usefulness.

Marcos 4:8 In-Context

6 pero pronto las plantas se marchitaron bajo el calor del sol y, como no tenían raíces profundas, murieron.

7 Otras semillas cayeron entre espinos, los cuales crecieron y ahogaron los brotes, así que esos brotes no produjeron grano.

8 Pero otras semillas cayeron en tierra fértil, y germinaron y crecieron, ¡y produjeron una cosecha que fue treinta, sesenta y hasta cien veces más numerosa de lo que se había sembrado!».

9 Luego les dijo:

10 Más tarde, cuando Jesús se quedó a solas con los doce discípulos y con las demás personas que se habían reunido, le preguntaron el significado de las parábolas.
