NET © Notes |
1 sn Interestingly, the synoptic parallels each use a different word for Satan here: Mark 4:15 has “Satan,” while Luke 8:12 has “the devil.” This illustrates the fluidity of the gospel tradition in often using synonyms at the same point of the parallel tradition. 2 sn The word of Jesus has the potential to save if it germinates in a person’s heart, something the devil is very much against. |
