Scripture reading
Matthew 13:31-33:
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,
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.”
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast
that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked
all through the dough.”
Matthew 13:44-45:
The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it,
he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.
