Marcos 4:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:16

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.

18 Otros son como lo sembrado entre espinos: oyen la palabra,
