Mark 4:26–34

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.

30 pAnd he said, qWhereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh rgreater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And swith many such parables spake he the word unto them, tas they were able to hear it. 34 But swithout a parable spake he not unto them: and uwhen they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
