Text and translations

Latin text Simile est regnum caelorum grano sinapis, quod minimum est omnibus seminibus, cum autem creverit, maius est omnibus oleribus.

German translation Das Himmelreich gleicht einem Senfkorn, es ist zwar das kleinste von allen Samenkörnern, wenn es aber gewachsen ist, ist es größer als alle Kräuter.

English translation The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs.
