'Greater' in the Bible

and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.'

and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

and the second is like it, this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other command.'
