Mark 4:26-41

26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the ripe grain in the head. 29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.1 30And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: 32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shadow. 33And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it . 34But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

35And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side. 36And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other little boats. 37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full. 38And he was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
