The Parable of the Growing Seed (also called the Seed Growing Secretly) is a parable of Jesus which appears in only one of the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. According to Mark 4:26-29 it is a parable about growth in the Kingdom of God. It follows the parable of the Sower and the lamp under a bushel, and precedes the parable of the Mustard Seed.
A version of the Parable of the Growing Seed also appears in the non canonical Gospel of Thomas (Saying 21d).
