Markos 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:2

And he taught them many things by parables
As he sat in the ship, and they stood on shore;

and said unto them in his doctrine;
as he was teaching them, and delivering unto them the doctrine he had received from his Father: though the Jews say ^F3, that

``the Israelites will have no need (xyvm Klm lv wdwmltl) , "of the doctrine of the king Messiah, in the time to come"; because it is said, "unto him shall the Gentiles seek", and not the Israelites.''

But it appears from hence, and many other places, that the Israelites both stood in need of his doctrine, and sought after it; and very excellent it was; the doctrine of God, and of the grace of God; and was spoken with authority, and in such a manner as never man spake, and which he delivered to his apostles; and which, if ministers bring not with them, should not be bid God speed.
