La tierra produce la cosecha por sí sola. Primero aparece un brote, luego se ve el grano, luego el grano maduro.

¿Qué significa esto?

This verse explains the natural process of how plants grow and bear fruit, emphasizing that it happens gradually—first a shoot appears, then an ear, and finally the full grain in the ear. Jesus is speaking here as part of his explanation about the parable of the sower.

Explicado para niños

Imagine planting a seed in your garden. First, you see a little green sprout come up from the ground. Then, it grows into a tall plant with an ear on top. Finally, that ear fills up with yummy corn kernels. That's how plants grow all by themselves!
