\n[22] For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
\n[23] If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
\n[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.
