25 (A)For unto him that hath, shall it be given, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that he hath.
26 ¶ [a]Also he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed in the ground.
27 And [b]should sleep, and rise up night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he [c]not knowing how.
