Mark 4:26-41

26And he said, Thus is the kingdom of 1God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, 27and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how. 28The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear. 29But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come. 30And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of 2God, or with what comparison should we compare it? 31As to a grain of mustard [seed], which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth, 32and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow. 33And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear, 34but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples. 35And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side: 36and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him. 37And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled. 38And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing? 39And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm. 40And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith? 41And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
