²⁶ And he said, So the kingdom of God is, as if a man cast seed into the earth,

²⁷ and he sleep, and it rise up night and day [and it sleep, and rise up in night and day], and bring forth seed, and wax fast, while he knoweth not.

²⁸ For the earth [by his own working/by his own will] maketh fruit, first the grass, afterward the ear, and after full fruit in the ear [afterward full fruit in the ear].

²⁹ And when of itself it hath brought forth fruit, at once [anon] he sendeth a sickle, for reaping time is come.
