Mark 4:30-32
(Matthew 13.31,32; Luke 13.18,19)

Finally, Jesus said:
What is God's kingdom like? What story can I use to explain it? It is like what happens when a mustard seed is planted in the ground. It is the smallest seed in all the world. But once it is planted, it grows larger than any garden plant. It even puts out branches that are big enough for birds to nest in its shade.
