Mark 4:30-36

³⁰And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?

³¹It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:

³²And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.

³³And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.

³⁴And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.

³⁵And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.

³⁶And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
