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.”
