³¹他又 设 个比喻 对他们 说 ：天 国 好象 一粒 芥菜种 ，有人 拿去 种 在田 里 。

³¹ ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

³¹ Verse 31. The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard

seed] This parable is a representation of the progress of the

Gospel in the world; and of the growth of grace in the soul. That

grace which leads the soul to the fulness of glory may begin, and

often does, in a single good desire-a wish to escape hell, or a

desire to enjoy God in heaven.
