Luke 13:18-21

Christian Standard Bible

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and of the Leaven

¹⁸ He said, therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like,^(A) and what can I compare it to? ¹⁹ It’s like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”

²⁰ Again he said, “What can I compare the kingdom of God^(B) to? ²¹ It’s like leaven^[a](C) that a woman took and mixed into fifty pounds^[b] of flour until all of it was leavened.”
