Archaeology notes on lamp and seed
ESV Bible · 28 October 2026 · Version

What this shows
The ESV Archaeology Study Bible explains Mark 4:21's "lamp" as a terra-cotta oil lamp and Mark 4:26–29's "seed" through barley and wheat seasons and the iron sickle. A "Feature: Light and Dark (Mark 4:22)" link sits between the notes.
