Mark 4:31-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

31. It is like a grain of mustard seed which, when it has been sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds which are in the earth.

32. And when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it produces great branches, so much so that the birds of the air are able to live under its shadow."

33. And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to hear.

34. But he did not speak to them without a parable. Yet separately, he explained all things to his disciples.

35. And on that day, when evening had arrived, he said to them, "Let us cross over."

36. And dismissing the crowd, they brought him, so that he was in one boat, and other boats were with him.

37. And a great wind storm occurred, and the waves broke over the boat, so that the boat was being filled.
