The Story of the Mustard Seed
30
Again Jesus said, "What can we say God's kingdom is like? What story can we use to explain it?
31
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed planted in the ground.
32
But when you plant the seed, it grows. It becomes the largest of all garden plants. Its branches are so big that birds can rest in its shade."
33
Using many stories like those, Jesus spoke the word to them. He told them as much as they could understand.
34
He did not say anything to them without using a story. But when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything.
