"Here is another story illustrating what the Kingdom of God is like:
"A farmer sowed his field [27] and went away, and as the days went by,
the seeds grew and grew without his help.
[28] For the soil made the seeds grow.
First a leaf blade pushed through, and later the heads of wheat formed,
and finally the grain ripened, [29] and then the farmer came
at once with his sickle and harvested it."
