Luke 13:18-21

New International Reader's Version

The Stories of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast

¹⁸ Then Jesus asked, “What is God’s kingdom like? What can I compare it to? ¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed. Someone took the seed and planted it in a garden. It grew and became a tree. The birds sat in its branches.”

²⁰ Again he asked, “What can I compare God’s kingdom to? ²¹ It is like yeast that a woman used. She mixed it into 60 pounds of flour. The yeast worked its way all through the dough.”
