Marco 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.

Marco 4:2 In-Context

1 POI prese di nuovo ad insegnare, presso al mare; ed una gran moltitudine si raunò presso a lui, talchè egli, montato nella navicella, sedeva in essa sul mare; e tutta la moltitudine era in terra, presso del mare.
2 Ed egli insegnava loro molte cose in parabole, e diceva loro nella sua dottrina:
3 Udite: Ecco, un seminatore uscì a seminare.
4 Ed avvenne che mentre egli seminava, una parte cadde lungo la via, e gli uccelli del cielo vennero, e la mangiarono.
5 Ed un’altra cadde in luoghi pietrosi, ove non avea molta terra; e subito nacque, perciocchè non avea terreno profondo;
