8:12Those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil37 comes and takes away the word38 from their hearts, so that they may not believe39 and be saved.
Footnotes
- 37 Interestingly, the synoptic parallels each use a different word for the devil here: Matt 13:19 has “the evil one,” while Mark 4:15 has “Satan.” This illustrates the fluidity of the gospel tradition in often using synonyms at the same point of the parallel tradition.
- 38 The word of Jesus has the potential to save if it germinates in a person’s heart, something the devil is very much against.
- 39 The participle πιστεύσαντες (pisteusantes) has been translated as a finite verb here. It may be regarded as an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance. From a logical standpoint the negative must govern both the participle and the finite verb.
