Mark 4:26-28

MSG

NIV

26 Then Jesus said, "God's kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
27 who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows - he has no idea how it happens.
27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
28 The earth does it all without his help: first a green stem of grass, then a bud, then the ripened grain.
28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
