Contextual Overview

²¹ Jesus also said: You don't light a lamp and put it under a clay pot or under a bed. Don't you put a lamp on a lampstand? ²² There is nothing hidden that will not be made public. There is no secret that will not be well known. ²³ If you have ears, pay attention! ²⁴ Listen carefully to what you hear! The way you treat others will be the way you will be treated—and even worse. ²⁵ Everyone who has something will be given more. But people who don't have anything will lose what little they have. ²⁶ Again Jesus said: God's kingdom is like what happens when a farmer scatters seed in a field. ²⁷ The farmer sleeps at night and is up and around during the day. Yet the seeds keep sprouting and growing, and he doesn't understand how. ²⁸ It is the ground that makes the seeds sprout and grow into plants that produce grain. ²⁹ Then when harvest season comes and the grain is ripe, the farmer cuts it with a sickle. ³⁰ Finally, Jesus said: What is God's kingdom like? What story can I use to explain it?
