Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 4:26

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.THE PARABLE OF THE SEED GROWING SECRETLYTrench was in a great quandary between applying this parable to earthly... read more

And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEEDHow shall we liken, ... In this, Jesus employed a device often... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 4:33

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it; and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.See under Mark 4:2 for reasons why Jesus spoke in parables. As Sanner noted, "If he had spoken to the crowds in a direct way, he would have forced them to make a final decision at once, a decision of unbelief and rejection."[40]This glimpse of the deep interest of the disciples who waited until the... read more

Mark 4:10. And when he was alone,— Many writers of harmonies, thinking this inconsistent with the acknowledged circumstances of the history, havesupposed, that the interpretation of the parable was not given now, but on some other occasion, though, for the sake of perspicuity, it is related together with the parable; yet the nature of the thing, as well as the testimony of St. Matthew, Mat 13:10 prove sufficiently, that the question which occasioned this interpretation was put immediately after... read more

Mark 4:11-12. Unto them that were without— Τοις εξω, the people out of the vessel,—the multitude on the shore. See εξω, used in a similar sense in the history of Peter's denial of his Master, Matthew 26:69. The following words at first sight seem to import, that Jesus spoke to the people obscurely, in parables, on purpose that they might not understand what he said, for fear they should have been converted and pardoned. Nevertheless it is evident from St. Mark himself, that this was not our... read more

Mark 4:21-22. Is a candle brought, &c. candlestick?— Is a lamp, &c.—stand. Campbell. When Jesus had ended his interpretation of the parable of the sower, he did not direct his discourse to the people, but continued speaking to the apostles, shewing them, by the similitude of a lighted lamp, the use that they were to make of this, and ofall the instructions which he should give them. As lamps are kindled to give light unto those who are in a house; so the understandings of the apostles... read more

Mark 4:26-29. So is the kingdom of God,— In this parable we are informed, that as the husbandman does not, by any efficacy of his own, cause the seed to grow, but leaves it to be nourished by the soil and sun; so Jesus and his apostles, having taught men the doctrines of true religion, were not by any miraculous force to constrain their wills; far less were they by the terrors of fire and sword to interpose visibly for the furthering thereof; but would suffer it to spread by the secret... read more

10. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve—probably those who followed Him most closely and were firmest in discipleship, next to the Twelve. asked of him the parable—The reply would seem to intimate that this parable of the sower was of that fundamental, comprehensive, and introductory character which we have assigned to it (see on :-).
