4:26	And he said, ... "Thus is the Kingdom of God, ..."
	"like a man might cast the seed upon the earth."
4:27	"And he may sleep and rise night and day."
	"And the seed sprouts, ..."
	"and grows like not he knows it. "
4:28	"Automatically the earth bears fruit, ..."
	"first grass, then a head of grain, ..."
	then 'full grain' in the head."
4:29	"Yet whenever offers itself the fruit, ..."
	"immediately he sends out 'the sickle' that has stood by 'the harvest.'"
