In Christianity, Parable of the Mustard Seed is a parable that according to the Gospels of Luke (Luke 13:18–19), Mark (Mark 4:30–32), Matthew (Matthew 13:31–32), and the non-canonical Thomas (Thomas 20) was told by Jesus. Possible Hebrew Bible parallels are Daniel 4:10–12, 4:20–22 and Ezekiel 17:22–23, 31:1–9. Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. – Luke 13:18–9 – Mark 4:30–2
