Mark 4:23-29
New American Standard Bible
23 (A)If anyone has ears to hear, [a]let him hear.” 24 And He was saying to them, “Take care what you listen to. [b](B)By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides. 25 (C)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Parable of the Seed
26 And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up daily, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 The soil produces crops by itself; first the stalk, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. 29 Now when the crop permits, he immediately [c](D)puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
