Mark 4:26-29 ▼

26 And He was saying, “Thus is The kingdom of God: as a man may cast the seed upon the earth,

27 and may sleep and rise night and day, and the seed may sprout and grow—he does not know how.

28 Of itself, the earth bears fruit—first a plant, then an ear, then full grain in the ear.

29 And when the fruit may offer itself, immediately he sends the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
