Mark 4:28
The Seed Growing Secretly
27Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.28All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within. 29And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come. ”
