Mark 4:21–29

21 And he said unto them, gIs a candle brought to be put under a ||bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? 22 hFor there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 iIf any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, jTake heed what ye hear: kwith what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 lFor he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26 And he said, mSo is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is ||brought forth, immediately he putteth in nthe sickle, because othe harvest is come.
