32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown it is larger than the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and he was saying nothing to them without a parable,
35 in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, who said, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the creation.”
36 Then he left the crowds and came into the house, and his disciples came to him saying, “Explain the parable of the darnel in the field to us.”
37 So he answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 and the field is the world. And the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil one.
