Mark 4:31 Context
29But when the fruite is brought foorth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come. 30¶ And he said, Wherunto shal we liken the kingdome of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31It is like a graine of mustard seed: which when it is sowen in the earth, is lesse then all the seedes that be in the earth. 32But when it is sowen, it groweth vp, and becommeth greater then all herbes, & shooteth out great branches, so that the fowles of the aire may lodge vnder the shadow of it. 33And with many such parables spake hee the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
