Mark 4:25
Compare all
23 aIf anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”  
24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. aWith the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.  
25 aFor whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”  

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 And He said, a“The kingdom of God is as if a man should1 scatter seed on the ground,  
27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and agrow, he himself does not know how.

Mark 4:25

For he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath—or "seemeth to have," or "thinketh he hath." (See on Matthew 13:12). This "having" and "thinking he hath" are not different; for when it hangs loosely upon him, and is not appropriated to its proper ends and uses, it both is and is not his.

Parable of the Seed Growing We Know not How (Mark 4:26-29).

This beautiful parable is peculiar to Mark. Its design is to teach the Imperceptible Growth of the word sown in the heart, from its earliest stage of development to the ripest fruits of practical righteousness.
