Contextual Overview

²¹He said to them, "A lamp is not brought in to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Is it not [brought in] to be put on the lampstand? ²²"For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been kept secret, but that it would come to light [that is, things are hidden only temporarily, until the appropriate time comes for them to be known]. ²³"If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words."²⁴Then He said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear. By your own standard of measurement [that is, to the extent that you study spiritual truth and apply godly wisdom] it will be measured to you [and you will be given even greater ability to respond]—and more will be given to you besides. ²⁵"For whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a yearning for truth], even what he has will be taken away from him." ²⁶Then He said, "The kingdom of God is like a man who throws seed on the ground; ²⁷and he goes to bed at night and gets up every day, and [in the meantime] the seed sprouts and grows; how [it does this], he does not know. ²⁸"The earth produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head [of grain], then the mature grain in the head. ²⁹"But when the crop ripens, he immediately puts in the sickle [to reap], because [the time for] the harvest has come." ³⁰And He said, "How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use to illustrate and explain it?
