Parable Of The Smallest Seed

The ruler said no more. All The people rejoiced and said, “Behold the Christ!”
And Jesus spoke a parable. He said, “The kingdom of the Christ is like a little seed that one put in the ground. It grew and after many years became a mighty tree, and many people rested in its shade, and birds built nests and reared their young among its leafy boughs.”

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
