Exegesis
The comparative adjective meizon {μεῖζον | meî-zon} is intensified by the genitive of comparison panton {πάντων | pán-tōn} with the genitive noun phrase ton lachanon {τῶν λαχάνων | tōn la-chá-nōn}, yielding the sense “greater than all the garden plants.”
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 .
