Mark 4:26-34

Mark 4:26-34

[26] And  So  the kingdom  of God,  as  a man  should cast  seed  into  the ground;  [27] And  should sleep,  and  rise  night  and  day,  and  the seed  should spring  and  grow up,  he  knoweth  not  how.  [28] the earth  bringeth forth fruit  of herself;  first  the blade,  then  the ear,  after that  the full  corn  in  the ear.  [29] But  when  the fruit  is brought forth,  immediately  he putteth in  the sickle,  because  the harvest  is come.  [30] And  Whereunto  shall we liken  the kingdom  of God?  or  with  comparison  it?  [31] It is like  a grain  of mustard seed,  which,  when  it is sown  in  the earth,  is less  than all  the seeds  in  the earth:  [32] But  when  it is sown,  it groweth up,  and  becometh  all  herbs,  and  shooteth out  great  branches;  so that  the fowls  of the air  may  lodge  under  the shadow  of it.  [33] And  with many  such  parables  spake he  the word  unto them,  as  they were able  to hear  [34] But  without  a parable  spake  he not  unto them:  and  when they were alone,  he expounded  all things  to his  disciples.
