Matthew 13:31-32

The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

31 He put another parable before them, saying, ¹"The kingdom of heaven is like ²a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."
