Bible verse
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
Mark 4:31 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 4.
27 Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28 All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29 And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
32 But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
