Matthew 13:32-34
New International Reader's Version
32 It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it grows, it is the largest of all garden plants. It becomes a tree. Birds come and rest in its branches.”
33 Jesus told them still another story. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast,” he said. “A woman mixed it into 60 pounds of flour. The yeast worked its way all through the dough.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd using stories. He did not say anything to them without telling a story.
