Bible verse
And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Mark 4:29 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 4.
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.
32 But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
