The Parable Of The Mustard Seed

31 It is like a grain of mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all the seeds which are upon the earth: 32 but when it is sown, it groweth up and becomes greater than all herbaceous plants, and produceth vast branches; so that the birds of the air may roost under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such like parables spake he to them the word.
