Mark 4:26

The kingdom of God

24 He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.

25 For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27 Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28 All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
