Mark 4:32

But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G2532} when{G3752} it is sown{G4687}{(G5652)}, it groweth up{G305}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} becometh{G1096}{(G5736)} greater than{G3187} all{G3956} herbs{G3001}, and{G2532} shooteth out{G4160}{(G5719)} great{G3173} branches{G2798}; so that{G5620} the fowls{G4071} of the air{G3772} may{G1410}{(G5738)} lodge{G2681}{(G5721)} under{G5259} the shadow{G4639} of it{G846}.
Strong's King James
(32) when it's sown, it ascends! And becomes larger than all the garden herbs, forming great branches so that THE BIRDS OF THE SKY CAN NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."
The F.O.G*
[32] Yet when it grows, it becomes larger than any garden plant, with branches big enough for birds to nest in its shade—showing how God's kingdom starts small but expands dramatically."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.’
