Luke 13:18-21

New American Standard Bible

Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven

¹⁸ So ^(A)He was saying, “^(B)What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? ¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and ^(C)the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”

²⁰ And again He said, “^(D)To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? ^21 (E)It is like ^[a]leaven, which a woman took and hid in ^(F)three ^[b]sata of flour until it was all leavened.”
