What the Fathers say

Mark 4:27

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Having cast it, He "sleeps," that is, He ascended into the heavens; nevertheless, He also "rises night and day." For although God apparently sleeps, that is, is longsuffering, He rises: He rises at night when through temptations He rouses us to the knowledge of Him; He rises by day when He fills our life with joys and consolations. The seed grows as if without His knowledge, because we are free, and it depends on our will whether this seed grows or does not grow.
