Matthew 13:32-34
Worldwide English (New Testament)
32 A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. But the plant that grows from it is bigger than other plants. It is like a tree. It is so big that birds come and live in the branches.'
33 Jesus told them another story. He said, `The kingdom of heaven is like this. A woman took yeast and mixed it with many cups of flour. The yeast went all through the flour.'
34 Jesus told the people all these things in stories. He did not tell them anything without a story.
