Mar 4:26 And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth.
Mar 4:27 He sleeps and rises, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.
Mar 4:28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Mar 4:29 But when the grain is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest comes.
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
Mar 4:30 And he said: To what shall we compare the kingdom of God? Or in what parable shall we set it forth?
Mar 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
Mar 4:32 yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shadow of it.
Mar 4:33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, according as they were able to understand it.
Mar 4:34 Without a parable he did not speak to them, but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
