25. For whoever has, to him it shall be given. And whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away."
26. And he said: "The kingdom of God is like this: it is as if a man were to cast seed on the land.
27. And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it.
28. For the earth bears fruit readily: first the plant, then the ear, next the full grain in the ear.
29. And when the fruit has been produced, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest has arrived."
