And He said, "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, and should sleep and rise, night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow up, he knoweth not how. The earth yieldeth fruit of her own accord: first a blade, then an ear, then full grain in the ear. But when the fruit appeareth, immediately he sendeth forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come."
