It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches." Again he said, "To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work. But I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it's not possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.'
