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.”
