Mark 4:24
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25 For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
