MARK 4: 3-8
Listen! A farmer went out

But the plant soon wilted under
the hot sun, and since it didnt
have deep roots, it died.7Other
seed fell among thorns that
grew up and choked out the
tender plants so they produced
no grain.8Still other seeds fell
on fertile soil, and they

crop that was thirty, sixty, and

The farmer plants seed by
taking Gods word to

The earth produces the crops
on its own. First a leaf blade
pushes through, then the heads
of wheat are formed, and finally
the grain ripens.29And as soon
as the grain is ready, the
farmer comes and harvests it

MARK 4: 31-32
