For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear (4:28) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come (4:29) And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? (4:30) [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: (4:31) But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it (4:32) And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it] (4:33) But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples (4:34) And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side (4:35) And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships (4:36) And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full (4:37) And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? (4:38) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (4:39) And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? (4:40) com1 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
(4:41)
