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

³¹ Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man, having taken, sowed in his field: ³² which, indeed, is less than all the seeds; but, when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and roost in its branches."

³⁰ And He said, "How shall we liken the Kingdom of God, or in what parable shall we set it forth? ³¹ It is like to a grain of mustard, which when it is sown upon the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, ³² yet, when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under its shadow."

³³ And with many such parables He spake the word to them, as they were able to hear it. ³⁴ And without a parable He spake not to them; but privately to His disciples He explained all things.

¹⁸ And 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, taking, cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in its branches."
