He said to them, “Take heed what you hear.
With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth, and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
