Matthew 13:31-33

New Life Version

The Picture-Story of the Mustard Seed

³¹ Jesus told them another picture-story. He said, “The holy nation of heaven is like mustard seed which a man planted in his field. ³² It is the smallest of seeds. But when it is full-grown, it is larger than the grain of the fields and it becomes a tree. The birds of the sky come and stay in its branches.”

The Picture-Story of the Yeast

³³ Jesus gave them another picture-story. He said, “The holy nation of heaven is like yeast that a woman put into three pails of flour until it had become much more than at first.”
