路加福音13:18-21

 

13:18 耶穌說：「上帝的國好像甚麼？我拿甚麼來比較呢？
13:19 好像一粒芥菜種，有人拿去種在園子裡，長大成樹，天上的飛鳥宿在它的枝上。」
13:20 又說：「我拿甚麼來比上帝的國呢？
13:21 好比麵酵，有婦人拿來藏在三斗麵裡，直等全團都發起來。」

 

¹⁸ Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? ¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”

²⁰ Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? ²¹ It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds^[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
