²⁶ Again Jesus said: God's kingdom is like what happens when a farmer scatters seed in a field. ²⁷ The farmer sleeps at night and is up and around during the day. Yet the seeds keep sprouting and growing, and he doesn't understand how. ²⁸ It is the ground that makes the seeds sprout and grow into plants that produce grain. ²⁹ Then when harvest season comes and the grain is ripe, the farmer cuts it with a sickle. ³⁰ Finally, Jesus said: What is God's kingdom like? What story can I use to explain it? ³¹ It is like what happens when a mustard seed is planted in the ground. It is the smallest seed in all the world. ³² But once it is planted, it grows larger than any garden plant. It even puts out branches that are big enough for birds to nest in its shade.
