New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 26 | He said, 'The kingdom of God is like this. A man scatters seed on the land; | The Parable of the Growing Seed Mk.4.26-29 (Plain of Gennesaret) | Καὶ ἐλεγεν, Οὑτως ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς ἄνθρωπος βάλῃ τὸν σπόρον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς |
|
| 27 | he goes to bed at night and gets up in the morning, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he does not know. | | καὶ καθεύδῃ καὶ ἐγείρηται νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν, καὶ ὁ σπόρος βλαστᾷ καὶ μηκύνηται ὡς οὐκ οἶδεν αὐτός. |
|
| 28 | The ground produces a crop by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then full-grown corn in the ear; | | αὐτομάτη ἡ γῆ καρποφορεῖ, πρῶτον χόρτον, εἶτα στάχυν, εἶτα πλήρη σῖτον ἐν τῷ στάχυϊ. |
|
| 29 | but as soon as the crop is ripe, he sets to work with the sickle, because harvest-time has come.'
| | ὁταν δὲ παραδοῖ ὁ καρπός, εὐθὺς ἀποστέλλει τὸ δρέπανον, ὅτι παρέστηκεν ὁ θερισμός. |
