Mark 4:30-33

30Jesus asked, “How can we show what God’s kingdom is like? To what can we compare it?

31It’s like a mustard seed planted in the ground. The mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds on earth.

32However, when planted, it comes up and becomes taller than all the garden plants. It grows such large branches that birds can nest in its shade.”

33Jesus spoke ⌞God’s⌟ word to them using many illustrations like these. In this way people could understand what he taught.
