Mark 4:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Ver. 30-32. We met with this parable in Matthew 13:31,32, where the reader will find we have given the sense of it. It is a prophetical parable, foretelling the great success that the gospel, which at this time was restrained to a little corner of the world, and there met with small acceptance, should have after Christ's resurrection from the dead; which prophecy we find was fulfilled in the apostles time, and hath been further fulfilling in all ages of the world since that time.
