Mark 4:30-35

³⁰And he seide, To what thing schulen we likne the kyngdom of God? or to what parable schulen we comparisoun it?

³¹As a corne of seneuei, which whanne it is sowun in the erthe, is lesse than alle seedis that ben in the erthe;

³²and whanne it is sprongun up, it waxith in to a tre, and is maad gretter than alle erbis; and it makith grete braunchis, so that briddis of heuene moun dwelle vndur the schadewe therof.

³³And in many suche parablis he spak to hem the word, as thei myyten here;

³⁴and he spak not to hem with out parable. But he expownede to hise disciplis alle thingis bi hemsilf.

³⁵And he seide to hem in that dai, whanne euenyng was come, Passe we ayenward.
