Mark 4:28-35

²⁸The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

²⁹But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.

³⁰And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?

³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

³²yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

³³And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;

³⁴and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.

³⁵And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
