A branch and the roots of a mustard plant. Jesus used the mustard seed in His famous Mustard Seed parable, told in all the Synoptic Gospels(Matt. 13:31-32; Mark 4:31-32; Luke 13:19).

Jerusalem, Israel -
Jesus' parable of the mustard seed is one of the most famous parables in the Bible. Of all the plants He mentions in His teaching, Jesus chooses the lowly little mustard seed, no bigger than an Indian bead, to place at the center of one of his best known and most loved parables.

"Another parable He put forth to them, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.'" (Matthew 13:31-32)
