Reflections in the Garden
"And [Jesus] said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God? and with what parable shall we picture it?
It is just like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seed on earth.
But when it is sown, it springs up and becomes greater that all the herbs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds can settle under their shadow."
(Mark 4:30-32 Lamsa Translation)
