Matthew 13:33

Read in context

Matthew 13:31–35 · Berean Standard Bible

31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.

32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
