Jesus Tells a Story About Seed

²⁶ Then Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who ·plants seed in [scatters seed on] the ground. ²⁷ Night and day, whether the person is asleep or awake, the seed still [sprouts and] grows, but the person does not know how it grows. ²⁸ By itself the earth produces grain. First the ·plant [blade; stalk] grows, then the head, and then ·all the [the ripe] grain in the head.
