Like a mustard grain, which at the time it was sown in the ground was the tiniest of all the seeds that are on the earth ​ — but when it has been sown, it comes up and becomes greater than all other vegetables and produces great branches, so that the birds of the heaven are able to find lodging under its shadow. ” ​ — Mark 4: 30 - 32.
لیکن چون کاشته شد ،‏ می‌روید و بزرگ‌تر از جمیع بُقُول می‌گردد و شاخه‌های بزرگ می‌آورد ،‏ چنانکه مرغان هوا زیر سایه‌اش می‌توانند آشیانه گیرند .‏ » —‏ مَرقُس ۴ :‏ ۳۰ -‏ ۳۲‏ .‏
