22 Everything that is hidden will be made clear. Every secret thing will be made known.
23 Let those with ears use them and listen!
24 “Think carefully about the things you hear. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you. But God will give you more than you give.
25 The person who has something will be given more. But the person who does not have much, even what he has will be taken from him.”
26 Then Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who plants seed in the ground.
27 The seed comes up and grows night and day. It doesn’t matter whether the man is asleep or awake; the seed still grows. The man does not know how it grows.
28 Without any help, the earth produces grain. First the plant grows, then the head, and then all the grain in the head.
