Mark 4:30-33

30Jesus said, “How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?

31It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds,

32but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade.”

33Jesus used many similar stories and illustrations to teach the people as much as they could understand.
