Mark 4:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
In context
26 Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28 All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29 And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
