Mark 4:22-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

22. For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light.

23. Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.”

24. He also told them, “Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you.

25. To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

26. He said, “This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land

27. and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how.
