The Parable of the Growing Seed He also said,“The kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground.
He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
By itself the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
And when the grain is ripe, he sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed He also asked,“To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?
It is like a mustard seed that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground–
when it is sown, it grows up, becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds can nest in its shade.”
