It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown upon the soil, is the smallest of all the seeds on the ground.

好像一粒芥菜种，种在地里的时候，虽比地上的百种都小，

它像一粒芥菜种，种在地里的时候，虽比地上所有的种子都小，

它像一粒芥菜种，种在地里的时候，虽比地上所有的种子都小，

上帝的国就像一粒芥菜种。它是种子中最小的，

它好像一粒芥菜种，刚种下去的时候，比地上的一切种子都小，

它好像一粒芥菜种子，被种入地里的时候，比地上所有的种子更小，

好像一粒芥菜種，種在地裏的時候，雖比地上的百種都小，

它像一粒芥菜種，種在地裏的時候，雖比地上所有的種子都小，

它像一粒芥菜種，種在地裏的時候，雖比地上所有的種子都小，

上帝的國就像一粒芥菜種。它是種子中最小的，

它好像一粒芥菜種，剛種下去的時候，比地上的一切種子都小，

它好像一粒芥菜種，種在地上的時候，雖比地上任何種子都小，

它好像一粒芥菜種子，被種入地裡的時候，比地上所有的種子更小，

猶芥種一粒、播於地、乃地上百種之至微者、

猶芥種播於地、為世間百種之至微、

猶芥種一粒、種於地時、為世間百種之至微者、

其猶芥子歟、方其播於地也、微於他種、

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth,

It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds,

It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is the smallest of all the seeds that are upon the soil,

It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth;

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown in the soil, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground.

[ It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

It is like a mustard seed that when sown in the ground, even though it is the smallest of all the seeds in the ground–

It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

In this way the word of the Lord spread and prevailed.

He said, therefore,“ What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?It’s like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”

As you were watching, a stone broke off without a hand touching it, struck the statue on its feet of iron and fired clay, and crushed them.Then the iron, the fired clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were shattered and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

But many of those who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

The LORD of Armies says this:“ Peoples will yet come, the residents of many cities;the residents of one city will go to another, saying: Let’s go at once to plead for the LORD’s favor and to seek the LORD of Armies. I am also going.Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Armies in Jerusalem and to plead for the LORD’s favor.”The LORD of Armies says this:“ In those days, ten men from nations of every language will grab the robe of a Jewish man tightly, urging: Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

he says,“ It is not enough for you to be my servant raising up the tribes of Jacob and restoring the protected ones of Israel. I will also make you a light for the nations, to be my salvation to the ends of the earth.”This is what the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says to one who is despised, to one abhorred by people, to a servant of rulers:“ Kings will see, princes will stand up, and they will all bow down because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel— and he has chosen you.”

“ In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.You saw a stone break off from the mountain without a hand touching it, and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold. The great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation reliable.”

He grew up before him like a young plant and like a root out of dry ground. He didn’t have an impressive form or majesty that we should look at him, no appearance that we should desire him.

In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. All nations will stream to it,and many peoples will come and say,“ Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

In that day I will restore the fallen shelter of David: I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name— this is the declaration of the LORD; he will do this.Look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the one who treads grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel. They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities, plant vineyards and drink their wine, make gardens and eat their produce.I will plant them on their land, and they will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them. The LORD your God has spoken.

So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.

“‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: I will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it. I will pluck a tender sprig from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high towering mountain.I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain so that it may bear branches, produce fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches.Then all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD. I bring down the tall tree, and make the low tree tall. I cause the green tree to wither and make the withered tree thrive. I, the LORD, have spoken and I will do it.’”

The least will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; I will accomplish it quickly in its time.

“ Many nations will join themselves to the LORD on that day and become my people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.

“ My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in my name in every place because my name will be great among the nations,” says the LORD of Armies.

May there be plenty of grain in the land; may it wave on the tops of the mountains. May its crops be like Lebanon. May people flourish in the cities like the grass of the field.May his name endure forever; as long as the sun shines, may his fame increase. May all nations be blessed by him and call him blessed.Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonders.Blessed be his glorious name forever; the whole earth is filled with his glory. Amen and amen.

On that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that on that day the one who is weakest among them will be like David on that day, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD, before them.

He presented another parable to them:“ The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when grown, it’s taller than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”He told them another parable:“ The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into fifty pounds of flour until all of it was leavened.”

Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.“ Rejoice, childless one, who did not give birth; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of the married woman,” says the LORD.“ Enlarge the site of your tent, and let your tent curtains be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your ropes, and drive your pegs deep.For you will spread out to the right and to the left, and your descendants will dispossess nations and inhabit the desolate cities.

In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. Peoples will stream to it,and many nations will come and say,“ Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about his ways so we may walk in his paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Believers were added to the Lord in increasing numbers— multitudes of both men and women.

When they heard it, they glorified God and said,“ You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

On that day there will be no light; the sunlight and moonlight will diminish.It will be a unique day known only to the LORD, without day or night, but there will be light at evening.On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea, in summer and winter alike.On that day the LORD will become King over the whole earth— the LORD alone, and his name alone.

I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the city gates of their enemies.And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my command.”

The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will accomplish this.

The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
