Matthew 13:31-33

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Mustard Seed

³¹ He presented another parable to them, saying, “^(A)The kingdom of heaven is like ^(B)a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; ³² and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that ^(C)the birds of the ^[a]air come and nest in its branches.”

The Leaven

³³ He spoke another parable to them, “^(D)The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in ^(E)three ^[b]pecks of flour until it was all leavened.”
