Mark 4:26-29

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 "The kingdom of God is like this," He said. "A man scatters seed on the ground;

27 he sleeps and rises-night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows-he doesn't know how.

28 The soil produces a crop by itself-first the blade, then the head, and then the ripe grain on the head.

29 But as soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, ^[a] because harvest has come."
