Mark 4:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ Those who ·have understanding [^Lhave] will be given more. But those who do not ·have understanding [^Lhave], even what they have will be taken away from them. [^CThe Greek does not say what they have; but the context suggests spiritual understanding to comprehend the mysteries of the kingdom (v. 11).]

Jesus Tells a Story About Seed

²⁶ Then Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who ·plants seed in [scatters seed on] the ground. ²⁷ Night and day, whether the person is asleep or awake, the seed still [sprouts and] grows, but the person does not know how it grows.
