Luke 13:19

It is like a mustard seed that a man takes and sows in his garden. It grows up and becomes a tree, and the birds of the sky build their nests in its branches. [This is probably a hyperbole (a deliberate exaggeration to emphasize a point). The mustard plant grows to a height of 2-3 dm when it is time for harvest. However, there are examples of mustard bushes that after a few years have grown to a height of 2-3 meters around the Sea of Galilee, and birds can build nests in the branches.]
