Mark 4:26-29 ▼

26 And He said, “Thus is the Kingdom of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

27 and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed springs up and grows, he has not known how;

28 for of itself the earth bears fruit, first a blade, afterward an ear, afterward full grain in the ear;

29 and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
