1 And he began agayne to teache by the sea syde: And ther gathered vnto hym much people, so greatly, that he entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea: and all the people was by the sea syde on the shore: 2 And he taught them many thinges by parables, and sayde vnto them in his doctrine. 3 Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe: 4 And it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the way syde, and the fowles of the ayre came, and deuoured it vp. 5 Some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not muche earth: and immediatly sprange vp, because it had not deapth of earth. 6 But assoone as the sonne was vp, it caught heate: and because it hadde not roote, it wythered away. 7 And some fell among thornes: and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, and it gaue no fruite. 8 And some fell vpon good grounde, and dyd yelde fruite, that sprang vp, and grewe, and brought foorth, some thirtie folde, and some sixtie folde, and some an hundred folde. 9 And he saide vnto them: He that hath eares to heare, let hym heare. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about hym, with the twelue, asked of hym the parable.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

That seeing: Rather, as יםב [Strong's G2443] frequently denotes, "So that seeing they see, and do not perceive, and hearing they hear, and do not understand," etc. The expression appears to be proverbial; and relates to those who might see what they now overlook through inattention and folly. See the parallel texts. Deuteronomy 29:4, Isaiah 6:9, Isaiah 6:10, Isaiah 44:18, Jeremiah 5:21, Matthew 13:14, Matthew 13:15, Luke 8:10, John 12:37-41, Acts 28:25-27, Romans 11:8-10

be converted: Jeremiah 31:18-20, Ezekiel 18:27-32, Acts 3:19, 2 Timothy 2:25, Hebrews 6:6

Reciprocal: Psalms 80:7 - we shall Psalms 106:7 - Our Jeremiah 36:3 - that I Ezekiel 12:2 - which Daniel 8:15 - sought Zechariah 7:12 - lest Matthew 18:3 - Except Mark 8:18 - see Luke 11:34 - but John 12:40 - hath Acts 5:31 - forgiveness Acts 28:26 - Go

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 13:10-17. On Mark 4:12, see the notes at John 12:39-40.

When he was alone - That is, separate from the multitude. When he withdrew from the multitude a few followed him for the purpose of more instruction.

Mark 4:13

Know ye not this parable? - This which is so plain and obvious.

How then will ye know all parables? - Those which are more difficult and obscure. As they were themselves to be “teachers,” it was important that they should be acquainted with the whole system of religion - of much more importance for them at that time than for the mass of the people.
