Mark 4:26-29

The Story of the Growing Seed

26 Jesus also said, "Here is what God's kingdom is like. A farmer scatters seed on the ground.
27 Night and day the seed comes up and grows. It happens whether the farmer sleeps or gets up. He doesn't know how it happens.
28 All by itself the soil produces grain. First the stalk comes up. Then the head appears. Finally, the full grain appears in the head.
29 Before long the grain ripens. So the farmer cuts it down, because the harvest is ready."
