He leads me beside the still waters.
 
He restores my soul;
 
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
 
For His name’s sake.
 
 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
 
I will fear no evil;
 
For You are with me;
 
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
 
 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
 
You anoint my head with oil;
 
My cup runs over.
 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
 
All the days of my life;
 
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
 
Forever.

26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.

33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

Mark 4:26-34

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 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.”

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
