D.  Parable of the Mustard Seed     4:30-34

Mar 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

Mar 4:31 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:

Mar 4:32 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.

Mar 4:33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

Mar 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
