Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this sentence to the preceding context, followed by the temporal particle hōtan {ὅταν | hó-tan} introducing an indefinite temporal clause “whenever it is sown.”
In context — Mark 4:32
And when it is sown, it grows up and surpasses all the garden plants , producing large branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to nest under its shadow .
