— Mark 4:30, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?”
“And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? ”
“He said, "How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?”
“The Parable of the Mustard Seed He also asked,“To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?”
“And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?”
“And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?”
“And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?”
And he sleeps and he arises, night and day. And the seed germinates and grows, though he does not know it.
For the earth bears fruit readily: first the plant, then the ear, next the full grain in the ear.
And when the fruit has been produced, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest has arrived.”
And he said: “To what should we compare the kingdom of God? Or to what parable should we compare it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it has been sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds which are in the earth.
And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow.”
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear.
