THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 4 - Verse 24

Verse 24. Take heed what ye hear. Or, consider well what you hear Make a good improvement of it.

With what measure ye mete, etc. You shall be treated according to the use you make of your opportunities of learning. If you consider it well, and make a good improvement of what you hear, you shall be well rewarded. If not, your reward shall be small. This is a proverbial expression. See Barnes "Mt 7:1,2".

Mete. Measure. With what measure ye measure.

Unto you that hear. To you who are attentive, and who improve what you hear.
