18 Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of
God like? What shall I compare it to?
19 It is like a mustard seed,
which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a
tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches."
20 Again he asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God
to?
21 It is like yeast that a
woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked
all through the dough."
