Mark 4:30-32

Contemporary English Version

A Mustard Seed

(Matthew 13.31,32; Luke 13.18,19)

³⁰ Finally, Jesus said:

What is God's kingdom like? What story can I use to explain it? ³¹ It is like what happens when a mustard seed is planted in the ground. It is the smallest seed in all the world. ³² 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.
