Mark 4:32

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

But {G2532} when {G3752} it is sown {G4687}, it groweth up {G305}, and {G2532} becometh {G1096} greater than {G3187} all {G3956} herbs {G3001}, and {G2532} shooteth out {G4160} great {G3173} branches {G2798}; so that {G5620} the fowls {G4071} of the air {G3772} may {G1410} lodge {G2681} under {G5259} the shadow {G4639} of it {G846}.

but after it has been planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all the plants, with such big branches that the birds flying about can build nests in its shade."

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.”

yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
