The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

Luke 13

18 h He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like i 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 j It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in k three measures of flour, until it was l all leavened."
