Matthew

The Mustard Seed and the Yeast

13
Chapter 13
31 Another parable he put before them, saying: "The kingdom of the heavens is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field." 32 which indeed is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown, it is larger than the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and dwell in its branches. 33 Another parable he spoke to them: "The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three satas of flour until it was all leavened." 34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them. 35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will pour forth hidden things from the foundation."
