The mustard seed; teaching in parables

겨자씨의 비유와 비유로 가르치심

Mark 4:30–34: God’s Kingdom is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet grows up, becomes greater than all the herbs and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow. With many such parables he speaks the word to them, as they are able to hear it; without a parable he does not speak to them, but privately to his own disciples he explains everything.
