Marco 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.

17 e non hanno in sé radice ma son di corta durata; e poi, quando venga tribolazione o persecuzione a cagion della Parola, son subito scandalizzati.
18 Ed altri sono quelli che ricevono la semenza fra le spine; cioè coloro che hanno udita la Parola;
