Mark 4:25–30

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
¶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
¶ And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
