Mar 4:24-29 AMP And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and
study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to
you--and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. For to him who has will more be given; and from
him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away [by force],

The Parable of the Seed Growing

Mar 4:26 And He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground,

Mar 4:27 And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and
increases--he knows not how.

Mar 4:28 The earth produces [acting] by itself--first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the
ear.

Mar 4:29 But when the grain is ripe and permits, immediately he sends forth [the reapers] and puts in
the sickle, because the harvest stands ready.
