Mk 4:26-29

Seed Grows of Itself. 26He said, “This is how it is with the kingdom of God;^* it is as if a man were to scatter seed^j on the land 27and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. 28Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.”
