29. ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because as you gather the weeds you might pull up some of the wheat along with them.
30. Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.’ ”
31. Jesus told them another parable: “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man takes a mustard seed and sows it in his field.
32. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows up, it is the biggest of all plants. It becomes a tree, so that birds come and make their nests in its branches.”
33. Jesus told them still another parable: “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A woman takes some yeast and mixes it with forty litres of flour until the whole batch of dough rises.”
