Mark 4:34 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

(33-34) And with many such parables. — See Notes on Matthew 13:34-35. St. Mark’s omission of the reference to Psalms 78:2, and his addition of “as they were able to hear it,” are, each of them, characteristic. It may be noted that the “many such parables” of St. Mark imply something like the series which we find in St. Matthew.

Mark 4:33-34

33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
