24: και ελεγεν αυτοις βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν τοις ακουουσιν

measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you
that hear shall more be given.
24: And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you
shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given
to you.
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. "Mt 7:1, Mt 7:2".
Mete. Measure. With what measure ye measure.
Unto you that hear. To you who are attentive, and who improve what you hear.
