And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; (4:26)

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. (4:27)

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (4:28)

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. (4:29)
