26	Καὶ ἔλεγεν Οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς	And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground.	He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
27	καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν καὶ ὁ σπόρος βλαστᾷ καὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός	He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how.	Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
28	αὐτομάτη ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ πρῶτον χόρτον εἶτα* στάχυν εἶτα* πλήρης σῖτον* ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ	The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.	All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
29	ὅταν δὲ παραδοῖ ὁ καρπός εὐθὺς ἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός	But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”	As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
