  • The mustard seed and the leaven

    Pericope PER232 presents the twin parables of the mustard seed and the leaven (Luke 13.18-21). Spoken near a synagogue in Jerusalem on a Saturday, they illustrate the nature of the kingdom of God: it begins humbly, grows powerfully and works in a hidden yet transforming way. These two complementary images invite us to perceive the quiet and irresistible growth of God's reign in the world.

    Matthew 13.33 (King James Version) :
    Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

    Matthew 13.33-35 (King James Version) :
    Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
