Mark 4:30-34

CLV(i) 30 And He said, "How should we be likening the kingdom of God? Or by what parable may we be placing it? 31 As a kernel of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is smaller than all the seeds of those on the earth, 32 and whenever it may be sown, is coming up and becoming greater than all the greens and is making great boughs, so that, under its shade, the flying creatures of heaven are able to roost." 33 And in many such parables He spoke to them the word, according as they were able to be hearing it." 34 Yet apart from a parable He did not speak to them. Yet privately, to His own disciples, He explained all."
