Mark 4:30-34

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30aAnd He was saying, How shall we bcompare the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it? 31It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is 1smallest of all the seeds that are upon the soil, 32yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes 1largest of all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that athe birds of the 2air can nest under its shade.”
33And with many such parables He was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it; 34and He was not speaking to them awithout a parable; but He was bexplaining everything privately to His own disciples.
