Mark 4:28
All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
