Mark 4:26-34

26And he saidG3004, So isG1510 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, as if a manG444 should castG906 seedG4703 upon the earthG1093; 27and should sleepG2518 and riseG1453 nightG3571 and dayG2250, and the seedG4703 should spring up and grow, he knoweth not howG5613. 28The earthG1093 beareth fruitG2592 of herself; firstG4413 the blade, thenG1534 the ear, thenG1534 the fullG4134 grainG4621 in the ear. 29But whenG3752 the fruitG2590 is ripe, straightway he putteth forthG649 the sickleG1407, because the harvestG2326 is come.

30And he saidG3004, HowG4459 shall we liken the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? or in what parableG3850 shall we setG5087 it forth? 31It isG1510 like a grainG2848 of mustardG4615 seedG4690, which, whenG3752 it isG1510 sownG4687 upon the earthG1093, though it beG1510 less than all the seedsG4690 that areG1510 upon the earthG1093, 32yet whenG3752 it is sownG4687, groweth up, and becometh greaterG3173 than all the herbs, and putteth out greatG3173 branchesG2798; so that the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 can lodge under the shadowG4639 thereof.

33And with manyG4183 suchG5108 parablesG3850 spake he the wordG3056 unto them, as they were ableG1410 to hearG191 it; 34and without a parableG3850 spake he not unto them: but privately to his ownG2398 disciplesG3101 he expounded all thingsG3956.
