Matthew 13: 31-32

31 He put before them another parable: “The

kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that

someone took and sowed in his field; 32 it is

the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has

grown it is the greatest of shrubs and

becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air

come and make nests in its branches.”
