The Parable of the Mustard Seed
30 (A)And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31 It is like (B)a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
33 (C)With many such parables he spoke (D)the word to them, (E)as they were able to hear it. 34 He did not speak to them (F)without a parable, but (G)privately to his own disciples he (H)explained everything.
