4 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ Mark Reference
31ὡς κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃς ὁταν σπαρῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, μικρότερον ὂν πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, It is like the mustard-seed, which is smaller than any seed in the ground at its sowing. The Parables of the Mustard Seed Mk.4.31-32 | Mt.13.31-33 | Lk.13.18-21
32καὶ ὁταν σπαρῇ, ἀναβαίνει καὶ γίνεται μεῖζον πάντων τῶν λαχάνων καὶ ποιεῖ κλάδους μεγάλους, ὡστε δύνασθαι ὑπὸ τὴν σκιὰν αὐτοῦ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνοῦν. But once sown, it springs up and grows taller than any other plant, and forms branches so large that the birds can settle in its shade.'
