Mark 4:23-33

²³If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.

²⁴And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.

²⁵For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.

²⁶Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,

²⁷And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.

²⁸For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.

²⁹And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.

³⁰He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

³¹It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:

³²But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.

³³And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
