Matthew 13:32-34

New American Standard Bible 1995

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 ^(A)the birds of the ^[a]air come and nest in its branches.”

The Leaven

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

³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them ^(D)without a parable.
