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

³¹ He proposed to them another parable, 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 of herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches of it.

³⁰ And he said, Whereto 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 one of the least of the seeds that are in the earth. ³² But when it is sown it groweth up and becometh greater than all herbs, so that the birds of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

³³ And with many such parables spake he the word to them, as they were able to hear. ³⁴ But without a parable spake he not to them: and in private 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 birds of the air lodged in the branches of it.
