The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
18 Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches."
20 Again he asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds13:21 Or about 27 kilogramsof flour until it worked all through the dough."
