Context: Mark 4
21And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Commentary
Mark 4 is a chapter that focuses on Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom of God. Jesus uses parables to illustrate the Kingdom of God and to explain its mysteries. He begins by telling the parable of the sower, which is a story about a farmer who scatters seed on different types of soil. The seed represents the word of God, and the different types of soil represent different types of people. Jesus explains that some people will accept the word of God and bear fruit, while others will not.
