Context of Mark 4:25
23Then Jesus said, ‘You have ears, so listen well to what I say.’ 24Jesus then said, ‘Think carefully about the things that you hear. God will give to you in the same way that you give to other people. And you will receive even more. A person who has received some things will receive more things. Some other people have nothing. They will lose even the little bit that they do have.’ 26Then Jesus said, ‘I will tell you a story about the kingdom of God. It is like this: A man throws seeds in his field. 27Then he sleeps each night and he wakes up each day. The seeds start to grow into plants. They continue to grow. The man does not know how this happens.
