Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, ²⁷ and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how. ²⁸ The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear. ²⁹ But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come. ³⁰ And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?
