Mark 4:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 4:19

17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble.

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word,

19 and the ^acares of this world, ^bthe deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word,¹ accept it, and bear ^afruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Light Under a Basket

21 ^aAlso He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

22 ^aFor there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.
