Thematic Bible: The mustard seed
Thematic Bible
Jesus Christ » Parables of » The mustard seed
Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like- a grain of mustard, that a man took and sowed in his field. It is, indeed, the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the largest of garden-plants, and be comes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and roost in its branches.
Then he said: To what is the kingdom of God like; and to what shall I liken it? It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and sowed in his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree; and the birds of the air roosted in its branches.
And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or, by what similitude shall we illustrate it? It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the ground, is less than all seeds that are in the ground; yet, when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes larger than all garden-plants, and sends out great branches, so that the birds of the air can roost under its shadow.
