Mark 4:28-35

²⁸For the earth by his own work-ing, or his own will, maketh fruit, first the grass, afterward the ear, and afterward full fruit in the ear.

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

³⁰And he said, To what thing shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we comparison it?

³¹As a corn of sinapi, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all seeds that be in the earth;

³²and when it is sprung up, it waxeth into a tree, and is made greater than all herbs; and it maketh great branches, so that the birds of heaven may dwell under the shadow thereof.

³³And in many such parables he spake to them the word, as they might hear;

³⁴and he spake not to them without parable. But he expounded to his disciples all things by themselves.

³⁵And he said to them in that day, when evening was come, Pass we again-ward.
