Mark 4:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 And [a]should sleep, and rise up night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he [b]not knowing how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit [c]of itself, first the blade, then the ears, after that full corn in the ears.
29 And as soon as the fruit showeth itself, anon he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

Mark 4:27-29
New International Version
27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”(A)
