nothing is hidden

except to be revealed

nor has anything been secret

but that it should come to light

if any man has ears to hear

let him hear.

Take care what you listen to

By your standard of measure it shall be measured to you

and more shall be given to you besides.

the kingdom of God is like a man

who casts his seed upon the soil

and goes to bed at night

and gets up by day

and the seed sprouts up and grows

how,

he himself does not know.

The soil produces crops by itself

first the blade

then the head

then the mature grain in the head

but when the crop permits

he immediately

puts in the sickle

because

the harvest has come
