Luke 13:18-21
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and of the Yeast
18 He said, therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like,(A) and what can I compare it to?
19 It’s like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”
20 Again He said, “What can I compare the kingdom of God(B) to?
21 It’s like yeast(C) that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds(a) of flour until it spread through the entire mixture.”(b)
