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.
