Gospel : Mark 4:21-25
21 He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket † or under a bed? Isn't it put on a stand?
22 For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.
25 For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
†4:21: literally, a modion, a dry measuring basket containing about a peck (about 9 litres)

2 Samuel 7:18-19, 24-29
18 Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, "Who am I, Lord† the LORD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come; and this amongst men, Lord GOD!
24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
25 Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.'
27 For you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
28 "Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
29 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
†7:18: The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."
