18 He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?19 It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”
Mark 4
30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth,32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.34 He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Matthew 13
31 Друга притча им предложи, като каза: царството небесно прилича на синапово зърно, което човек взе, та посея на нивата си,32 което е най-малко от всички семена, но, кога израсте, бива по-голямо от всички злакове и става дърво, тъй че птиците небесни прилитат и се подсланят под клоните му.
