# it will be given to you

Jesus does not say who will give. Alternate translation: "and you will receive"

# A good amount

"A generous amount" or "A large amount"

# pressed down, shaken together and spilling over

These phrases emphasize that a great amount will be given. It will be like when someone puts a lot of grain into a container and he presses it down and shakes it so that it will fit. But even then there is so much grain that it spills over the top of the container.

# it will be measured back to you

Jesus does not say who will measure things back to person. Alternate translation "they will measure things back to you"
