LUKE 13:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.”
Then Jesus asked, What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches — the mustard seed's transformation from the smallest of seeds to a bird-sheltering tree communicates the kingdom's disproportionate expansion from a tiny Galilean beginning. Daniel 4:12 and Ezekiel 17:23 both use the bird-sheltering tree as an image of a world-encompassing kingdom.
