(d) Parable of the Mustard Seed

Mark 4:30-32Matt. 13:31-32
30 And he said, How shall we liken
the kingdom of God? or in what
parable shall we set it forth? 31 1It
is like a grain of mustard seed,
which, when it is sown upon the
earth, though it be less than all
the seeds that are upon the earth,
32 yet when it is sown, groweth
up, and becometh greater than all
the herbs, and putteth out great
branches; so that the birds of
the heaven can lodge under the
shadow thereof. 		31 Another parable set he before
them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like unto a grain of
mustard seed, which a man took,
and sowed in his field: 32 which
indeed is less than all seeds; but
when it is grown, it is greater
than the herbs, and becometh a
tree [see Dan. 4:12, 21], so that
the birds of the heaven come and
lodge in the branches thereof.

1 Gr. As unto.

(e) Parable of the Leaven and many such Parables

Mark 4:33-34Matt. 13:33-35

33 And with manya such parables
spake he the word unto them, as
they were able to hear it: 34 and
without a parable spake he not
unto them: but privately to his
disciples he expounded all things. 		33 Another parable spake he unto
them; The kingdom of heaven is
like unto leaven, which a woman
took, and hid in three 1measures
of meal, till it was all leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus
in parables unto the multitudes;
and withouta a parable spake he
nothing unto them: 35 that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken 2by
the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things hidden from
the foundation 3of the world
[see Ps. 78:2].
