The Growing Seed in ancient sources
Gospel of Mark
Mark 4:26-39 (NRSV) -- 26 He also said, "The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, 27 and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. 28 The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come."
Gospel of Thomas
Thomas 21 -- ...Let there be among you a person who understands. When the crop ripened, he came quickly carrying a sickle and harvested it...
