The Parable of the Growing Seed
26 “The kingdom of God(A) is like this,” he said. “A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps(B) and rises(C) night(D) and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn’t know how. 28 The soil produces a crop(E) by itself—first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain(F) on the head. 29 As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle,(G) because the harvest(H) has come.”

More parables about God’s kingdom
26 Then Jesus said, “This is what God’s kingdom is like. It’s as though someone scatters seed on the ground, 27 then sleeps and wakes night and day. The seed sprouts and grows, but the farmer doesn’t know how. 28 The earth produces crops all by itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full head of grain. 29 Whenever the crop is ready, the farmer goes out to cut the grain because it’s harvesttime.”
