Luke 13:18-21

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 a large amount of flour. The yeast worked its way all through the dough."
