Mark 4:32

---

← Mark 4:31 [words of Jesus]	Mark 4:32 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Mark 4:33 →
[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:	But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.	And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it].
