Gospel
text (Mathew 13,31-35): Jesus
put another parable before them, «The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,
that a man took and sowed in his field. It is smaller than all other seeds, but
once it has fully grown, it is bigger than any garden plant; like a tree, the
birds come and rest in its branches».
He told them another parable, «The kingdom of heaven is like the yeast that a woman took and buried in three measures of flour until the whole mass of dough began to rise». Jesus taught all this to the crowds by means of parables; He did not say anything to them without using a parable. So what the Prophet had said was fulfilled: ‘I will speak in parables. I will proclaim things kept secret since the beginning of the world’.
