Bible verse
Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
Mark 4:27 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 4.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.
25 For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
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?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
