* Another parable he put before them , saying , "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field ; * it is the smallest of all seeds , but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree , so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches ." * He told them another parable . "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour , till it was all leavened ." * All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables ; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable . * This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet : "I will open my mouth in parables , I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world ."
