芥菜種的比喻

31 他又設個比喻對他們說:「天國好像一粒芥菜種,有人拿去種在田裡。 32 這原是百種裡最小的,等到長起來,卻比各樣的菜都大,且成了樹,天上的飛鳥來宿在它的枝上。」

麵酵的比喻

33 他又對他們講個比喻說:「天國好像麵酵,有婦人拿來藏在三斗麵裡,直等全團都發起來。」 34 這都是耶穌用比喻對眾人說的話,若不用比喻,就不對他們說什麼。 35 這是要應驗先知的話說:「我要開口用比喻,把創世以來所隱藏的事發明出來。」

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(A)(B)

31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(C) a mustard seed,(D) which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”(E)

33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like(F) yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour(G) until it worked all through the dough.”(H)

34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.(I) 35 So was fulfilled(J) what was spoken through the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables,
    I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[b](K)
