The Parable of the Seed that Grows by Itself
26
And he said, "The kingdom of God is like this: like a man scatters seed on the ground.
27
And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows--{he does not know how}.
28
By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full grain in the head.
29
But when the crop permits, he sends [in] the sickle right away, because the harvest has come."
