Mark 4:30 Context
28For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of herselfe, first the blade, then the eare, after that the full corne in the eare. 29But when the fruite is brought foorth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come. 30¶ And he said, Wherunto shal we liken the kingdome of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31It is like a graine of mustard seed: which when it is sowen in the earth, is lesse then all the seedes that be in the earth. 32But when it is sowen, it groweth vp, and becommeth greater then all herbes, & shooteth out great branches, so that the fowles of the aire may lodge vnder the shadow of it.
