31 He set another parable before them, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.'
33 He spoke another parable to them. 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{Literally, satas. 3 satas = about 0.5 bushel or 22 litres} of meal, until it was all leavened.'
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, 'I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.'
