And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, even as if a man should sow seed in the ground,

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is the least of all seeds that be in the earth:

and should sleep and rise up night and day: and the seed should spring, and grow up while he is not aware.

"Master, Moses wrote unto us, if any man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children: that then his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

There were seven brethren and the first took a wife, and when he died left no seed behind him.

And the second took her, and died: neither left he any seed, and the third likewise.

And seven had her, and left no seed behind them. Last of all, the wife died also.
