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. 35 xAnd the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 36 yAnd when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even zas he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, abe still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41 And they bfeared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
