Mark 4:4-15 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.… Nothing is needed but to plough it up. God drives a deep share through many a wayside heart, and the coulter of affliction breaks up many a spirit, that it may afterwards yield "the peaceable fruit of righteousness." And if He does that for you, bless Him for His mercy; but do not wait, for you can get rid of all this insensibility by the simple effort of your own will. (Dr. McLaren.) Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.WEB: and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it. |
