Listen to Marcos 4:30
30 Y decía: ¿A qué haremos semejante el reino de Dios? ¿ó con qué parábola le compararemos?

Marcos 4:30 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:30

And he said
Still continuing his discourse on this subject, and in order to convey to the minds of his disciples clearer ideas of the Gospel dispensation, the success of the Gospel, and the usefulness of their ministration of it, for their encouragement, how unpromising soever things might then be:

whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison
shall we compare it?
It was usual with the Jewish doctors, when about to illustrate anything in a parabolical way to begin with such like questions; as, (hmwd rbdh hml) , "to what is this thing like" F4? when the answer is to such or such thing, as here.

Marcos 4:30 In-Context

28 Porque de suyo fructifica la tierra, primero hierba, luego espiga, después grano lleno en la espiga;
29 Y cuando el fruto fuere producido, luego se mete la hoz, porque la siega es llegada.
30 Y decía: ¿A qué haremos semejante el reino de Dios? ¿ó con qué parábola le compararemos?
31 Es como el grano de mostaza, que, cuando se siembra en tierra, es la más pequeña de todas las simientes que hay en la tierra;
32 Mas después de sembrado, sube, y se hace la mayor de todas las legumbres, y echa grandes ramas, de tal manera que las aves del cielo puedan morar bajo su sombra.
