Mark 4:6
4:6 When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, 1 it withered.
Mark 4:17
4:17 But 2 they have no root in themselves and do not endure. 3 Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.
1 tn Grk “it did not have root.”
2 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
3 tn Grk “are temporary.”
