they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. |

Parable of the Mustard Seed

Mark 10:42-45, ESV
Jesus is the King Who came to be with us.
30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall
we use for it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is
the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes
larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air
can make nests in its shade.”
42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are
considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise
authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great
among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must
be slave[b
] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many.”
