Context: Mark 4
24And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
About Mark 4: The Parable of the Sower
Jesus tells parables about the kingdom of God.
Commentary
Mark 4 is a chapter that focuses on Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom of God. Jesus uses parables to illustrate the Kingdom of God and to explain its mysteries. He begins by telling the parable of the sower, which is a story about a farmer who scatters seed on different types of soil. The seed represents the word of God, and the different types of soil represent different types of people. Jesus explains that some people will accept the word of God and bear fruit, while others will not.
