John Mark
Mark 4:32KJV·traditional attribution
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
The lessons which our Saviour designs to teach us here by parables and figurative expressions are these: - I. That those who are good ought to consider the obligations they are under to do good; that is, as in the parable before, to bring forth fruit.
Commenting on Mark 4:21-34
John Gill Reformed Baptist
And there arose a great storm of wind,.... Called Laelaps, a wind that is suddenly whirled about upwards and downwards, and is said to be a storm, or tempest of wind with rain; it was a sort of a hurricane: and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was full; of water, and ready to sink.
