Matthew 13:31-33

The Voice

Jesus: The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a sower took and planted in his field. ³² Mustard seeds are minute, tiny—but the seeds grow into trees. Flocks of birds can come and build their nests in the branches.

Jesus: Imagine a woman preparing a loaf of bread. The kingdom of heaven is like the leaven she folds into her dough. She kneads and kneads until the leaven is worked into all the dough.
