Mark 4:30
“And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?”
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
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.
