Marco 4:15

15 Quelli che sono lungo la strada, sono coloro nei quali è seminata la Parola; e quando l’hanno udita, subito viene Satana e porta via la Parola seminata in loro.

Marco 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:15

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown,
&c.] Such hearers are represented by the way side, in which the seed fell; who, coming where the Gospel is preached, stop awhile and hear it, and so are only casual and accidental hearers of it:

but when they have heard;
and indeed whilst they are hearing, and before they are well got out of the place of hearing,

Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the word that was sown in
their hearts.
The devil, signified by the fowl, or fowls of the air, immediately takes notice of such hearers, and is very busy with them; filling their minds with other things suitable to their dispositions, and setting before them other objects, whereby their minds are, at once, taken off from what they have been hearing; so that all that they have observed, and laid up in their memories, is lost at once, and never thought of any more.

Marco 4:15 In-Context

13 Poi disse loro: Non intendete voi questa parabola? E come intenderete voi tutte le parabole?

14 Il seminatore semina la Parola.

15 Quelli che sono lungo la strada, sono coloro nei quali è seminata la Parola; e quando l’hanno udita, subito viene Satana e porta via la Parola seminata in loro.

16 E parimente quelli che ricevono la semenza in luoghi rocciosi sono coloro che, quando hanno udito la Parola, la ricevono subito con allegrezza;

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.
