Mark 4:22-24
New English Translation
22 For nothing is hidden except to be revealed,[a] and nothing concealed except to be brought to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!”[b] 24 And he said to them, “Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive,[c] and more will be added to you.

- Mark 4:22 tn Or “disclosed.”
- Mark 4:23 tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9; Luke 8:8; 14:35).
- Mark 4:24 tn Grk “by the measure with which you measure it will be measured to you.”
