Matthew 13:33

The Parable Of The Yeast

³² and of all the seeds [planted in the region] it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air find shelter in its branches.” ³³ He told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and worked into three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.” ³⁴ All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables, and He said nothing to them without [using] a parable.
