Matthew 13:31-35

31He presentedG3908 anotherG243 parableG3850 to them, sayingG3004, “1The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likeG3664 2a mustardG4615 seedG2848, whichG3739 a manG444 tookG2983 and sowedG4687 in his fieldG68; 32and thisG3739 is smallerG3398 than allG3956 other seedsG4690, but whenG3752 it is fullG837 grownG837, it is largerG3173 than the gardenG3001 plantsG3001 and becomesG1096 a treeG1186, soG5620 that 3the birdsG4071 of the 4airG3772 comeG2064 and nestG2681 in its branchesG2798.”

33He spokeG2980 anotherG243 parableG3850 to them, “5The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likeG3664 leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG1470 in 6threeG5140 7pecksG4568 of flourG224 untilG2193 it was allG3650 leavenedG2220.”

34AllG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 spokeG2980 to the crowdsG3793 in parablesG3850, and He did not speakG2980 to them 8withoutG5565 a parableG3850. 35This was to fulfillG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG3004 throughG1223 the prophetG4396: “9I will openG455 My mouthG4750 in parablesG3850; I will utterG2044 thingsG2928 hiddenG2928 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.”
