The Parable of the Mustard Seed

30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33And with many such parables spoke he the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34But without a parable spoke he not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
