| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
And he saith unto them, Take heed what ye hear--In Luke (Luk 8:18) it is, "Take heed how ye hear." The one implies the other, but both precepts are very weighty.
with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you--See on Mat 7:2.
and unto you that hear--that is, thankfully, teachably, profitably.
shall more be given. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Take heed what ye hear - Or, consider well what you hear. Make a good improvement of it.
With what measure ye mete ... - 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 it explained in the notes at Mat 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. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Take heed what ye hear - That is, attend to what you hear, that it may have its due influence upon you. With what measure you mete - That is, according to the improvement you make of what you have heard, still farther assistance shall be given. And to you that hear - That is, with improvement. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And unto you that hear shall more be given - This clause is wanting in DG, Coptic, and four copies of the Itala; and in others, where it is extant, it is variously written. Griesbach has left it out of the text, and supposes it to be a gloss, Whosoever hath, to him shall be given. |
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
