The Mustard Seed and the Leaven
18 For ver. 18, 19, see Matt. 13:31,32;Mark 4:30-32He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?19 It is like ch. 17:6;Matt. 17:20a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
20 And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?21 Matt. 13:33It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in Gen. 18:6three measures of flour, until it was 1 Cor. 5:6;Gal. 5:9all leavened."
