'Smaller' in the Bible

and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown in the soil, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground.

have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?
