rwp - Mark:4:31

rwp@Mark:4:31 @{When it is sown} (\hotan spari\). Second aorist passive subjunctive of \speir\. Alone in Mark and repeated in verse 32|. {Less than all the seeds} (\mikroteron pantn tn spermatn\). Comparative adjective with the ablative case after it. Hyperbole, of course, but clearly meaning that from a very small seed a large plant grows, the gradual pervasive expansive power of the kingdom of God.
