Thematic Bible: A mustard seed

Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field: which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.

And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under what parabolic figure shall I represent it? 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: 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. read more.

Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and put into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged on its branches.
