Matthew 13:31-32 - The Parable Of The Mustard Seed

³¹ And He submitted another parable to them, saying; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which, a man having taken, sowed in his field; ³² which indeed is the smallest of all seeds; and when it grows up, is the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven indeed lodge in its branches.

³⁰ And He said, To what may we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable may we present it? ³¹ Tis like a grain of mustard seed, which when it may be sown upon the earth, is the smallest of all seeds which are upon the earth, ³² and when it may be sowed, it springs up, and becomes the greatest of herbs, and produces great branches; so that the birds of the heavens are able to lodge under its shadow.

³³ And in many such parables He continued to speak the word to them, as they were able to hear. ³⁴ And without a parable He did not speak to them: and He privately expounded all things to His disciples.

¹⁸ Then He said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it? ¹⁹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man having taken, cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.
