²⁶ Jesus also said, “God has the power to change people who let him rule their lives. I will illustrate how that can happen MET. A man planted seeds in the ground.

²⁷ Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day without worrying about the seeds. During that time the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil caused the plants to grow and produce grain.

²⁸ First the stalks appeared. Then the heads appeared. Then the full kernels in the heads appeared.

²⁶ He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

²⁷ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he doesn’t know how.

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

²⁶ Jesus kept on teaching, and said, “I want you to know the way God’s family grows. This is another picture story. A man wanted to grow some seed food, so he threw some seeds on the ground. The seeds fell on the ground and after that the man walked away and left the seeds there. Those seeds grew all by themselves and that man didn’t know what made those seeds grow. He just left them there for many days and they grew. God made those seeds grow in the ground. At first the long stick part grew, and after that the head part grew with all the seeds inside it. At the right time God made the seeds get hard, ready for people to cut down those plants and pick up the seed food. God is boss for everyone and his family will grow just like the seeds in that story.”

²⁶ And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in the groude

²⁷ and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
