From a3f00c31dee9f26f7654dfabfbdc35edb17e8607 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Susan Quigley Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2019 20:47:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update 'mrk/04/20.md' I deleted the link to metaphor. I deleted the link to metonymy since it is not part of this verse. I deleted my confusing sentences contrasting what the seed represented in v14 (the word) and what it represents in 15 (the people). I changed the first note so that the snippet and AT match. I changed the second note so that it explains the meaning of the parable, rather than focusing on the images in the parable. --- mrk/04/20.md | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/mrk/04/20.md b/mrk/04/20.md index 6ba06bf6db..1bb6c16050 100644 --- a/mrk/04/20.md +++ b/mrk/04/20.md @@ -1,8 +1,7 @@ -# Those that were sown on the good soil +# Those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word, accept it and bear fruit -"These people are the seeds that fall on the good soil" or "These people are like seeds that fall on on the good soil."
