This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
24 And 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.
Ver. 24. Take heed what you hear] As the husbandman is very curious in the choice of his seed.
With what measure you mete] i.e. As you mete to God in duty, so will God mete to you in mercy, Son_1:3.
Shall more be given] sc. If you bring with you a loan of your former hearings. He that hears as he ought, every time he hears he grows something more rich: he picks up the gospel’s pearls, and presents them to God the next time, that he may have more. The good soul cannot be without some daily comings in from Christ.
