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

³¹ Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: ³² Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.

³⁰ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? ³¹ It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth. ³² But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.

³³ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. ³⁴ But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

¹⁸ Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I resemble it? ¹⁹ It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
