Matthew 13:31-32

The Mustard Seed

31 He presented another parable to them, saying, "¹The kingdom of heaven is like ²a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that ³THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."
