*
Another parable put he forth unto them ,
saying ,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed ,
which a man took ,
and sowed in his field :
*
Which indeed is the least of all seeds :
but when it is grown ,
it is the greatest among herbs ,
and becometh a tree ,
so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof .
*
Another parable spake he unto them ;
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven ,
which a woman took ,
and hid in three measures of meal ,
till the whole was leavened .
*
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ;
and without a parable spake he not unto them :
*
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet ,
saying ,
I will open my mouth in parables ;
I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world .
