"The kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."

Luke 13:19-29

The Lord said this parable, "The kingdom of God is like a grain of
mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and
became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches." And
again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like
leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it
was all leavened." He went on his way through towns and villages,
teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. And some one said to him, "Lord,
will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them, "Strive to
enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and
will not be able. When once the householder has risen up and shut the
door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying,
'Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, 'I do not know where you come
from.' Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence,
and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, 'I tell you, I do
not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of
iniquity!' There you will weep and gnash your teeth when you see Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you
yourselves thrust out. And men will come from east and west, and from north
and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God."
