23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
24 And he said to them, “Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.
25 For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is like this: like a man scatters seed on the ground.
27 And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—he does not know how.
28 By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full grain in the head.
29 But when the crop permits, he sends in the sickle right away, because the harvest has come.”
