Mark 4:26-32

26Jesus also saidG2532G2036, “TheG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG1510 likeG3779G5613 a manG444 who scattersG906 seedG4703 onG1909 theG3588 groundG1093. 27NightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 he sleepsG2518 andG2532 wakesG1453, andG2532 theG3588 seedG4703 sproutsG985 andG2532 growsG3373, though heG846 knowsG1492 notG3756 howG5613. 28All by itselfG844 theG3588 earthG1093 produces a cropG2592—firstG4412 the stalkG5528, thenG1534 the headG4719, thenG1534 grainG4621 that ripensG4134 withinG1722G3588G4719. 29AndG1161 as soon asG2112G3752 theG3588 grainG2590 is ripeG3860, he swingsG649 theG3588 sickleG1407, becauseG3754 theG3588 harvestG2326 has comeG3936.1”

30ThenG2532 He askedG2036, “To whatG4459 can we compareG3666 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316? WithG1722 whatG5101 parableG3850 shall we presentG5087 itG846? 31It is likeG5613 a mustard seedG2848G4615, whichG3739 isG1510 the smallestG3398 of allG3956 seedsG4690 sownG4687G1909G3588G1093 uponG1909 theG3588 earthG1093. 32ButG2532 afterG3752 it is plantedG4687, it growsG305 to beG1096 the largestG3173 of allG3956 garden plantsG3001 andG2532 puts forthG4160 greatG3173 branchesG2798, so thatG5620 theG3588 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772 nestG2681 inG5259 itsG846 shadeG4639.”
