31 Outra parábola lhes propôs, dizendo: O reino dos céus é semelhante a um grão de mostarda, que um homem tomou e plantou no seu campo; 32 o qual é, na verdade, a menor de todas as sementes, e, crescida, é maior do que as hortaliças, e se faz árvore, de modo que as aves do céu vêm aninhar-se nos seus ramos.

31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.

31 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches."
