Luke 13:18-21

English Standard Version

The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

^18 (A)He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? ¹⁹ It is like ^(B)a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”

²⁰ And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? ^21 (C)It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in ^(D)three measures of flour, until it was ^(E)all leavened.”
