25

26
And he said , Sois the kingdom of God,asif a man should castseedinto the ground;
27

31
It is like a grain of mustard seed,which,when it is sownin the earth, is less than all the seeds that bein the earth:
32
Butwhen it is sown , it groweth up , andbecometh greater thanallherbs,and shooteth outgreatbranches; so that the fowls of the airmaylodgeunder the shadow of it.
