30 And He said, To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent it? 31 It is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds on the earth: 32 but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow. 33 And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable. 34 And He explained all to his disciples in private. 35 And the same day, in the evening, He saith to them, Let us go over to the other side. 36 So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise with Him. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now almost full. 38 And He was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing? 39 And He rose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still; and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how! have ye no faith? 41 And they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, Who is this? that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
