The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

31 He put another parable before them, saying, 1“The kingdom of heaven is like 2a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. ”
