Matthew 13:31-33

New Testament for Everyone

³¹ He put another parable to them.

“The kingdom of heaven,” he said, “is like a grain of mustard seed, which someone took and sowed in his field. ³² It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when it grows it turns into the biggest of the shrubs. It becomes a tree, and the birds in the sky can then come and nest in its branches.”

³³ He told them another parable.

“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven,” he said, “which a woman took and hid inside three measures of flour, until the whole thing was leavened.”
