The Mustard Seed
(KJV)
Matthew 13: 31-32
13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree,
so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
****
Mark 4: 30-32
4:30 And he said,
Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God?
or with what comparison shall we compare it?
4:31 It 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:
4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs,
and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
****
Luke 13: 18-19
13:18 Then said he,
Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden;
and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
