Mark 4:11-12

I found that these two verses are largely ignored in most of the public domain commentaries.

One explanation, from the People's New Testament, is that Matthew 13 gives a fuller account of this parable.

This perspective does not entirely satisfy me.

Matthew 13:13-14 references Isaiah 6.

Tomorrow, I will read Isaiah 6 and see if this helps explain Mark 4:11-12 more clearly.
