Contextual Overview

21 And He said to them, Does the lamp come that it may be put under the grain measure, or under the bed? Is it not also that it may be put on the lampstand? 22 For not anything is hidden but that it will be revealed, nor anything become covered but that it will come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And He said to them, Be careful what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you, the ones hearing. 25 For whoever may have, more will be given to him; and the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 26 And He said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed on the earth, 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day; and the seed should sprout and lengthen of itself, as he does not know. 28 For of itself the earth bears fruit: first greenery, then an ear, then full grain in the ear. 29 And when the fruit yields, immediately he "sends forth the sickle, for the harvest has come." Joel 3:13 30 And He said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we compare it?
