Mark 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:20

And these are they which are sown on good ground
Such hearers who are intended by the good ground on which other seed fell, are those who are made good men by the grace of God; for there is none good naturally, nor that doeth good, no not one; these are

such who hear the word, and receive it;
as the word of God, in whose hearts it works effectually; who receive it not into their heads only, but into their hearts; and having received it, hold it fast, and abide by it in the worst of times:

and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some an
hundred;
all bring forth good fruit of the same quality, though not of the same quantity: for a larger exposition of this explanation of the parable, see the notes on ( Matthew 13:19-23 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 13:19). (See Gill on Matthew 13:20). (See Gill on Matthew 13:21). (See Gill on Matthew 13:22). (See Gill on Matthew 13:23).

19 and ye care of this worlde and ye disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke ye worde and it is made vnfrutfull.

21 And he sayde vnto them: is ye candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder ye table and not rather to be put on a cadelstick?

22 For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.
