13 ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ Luke Reference
Ἔλεγεν οὖν, Τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν; He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven Lk.13.18-21 | Mt.13.31-33 | Mk.4.31-32
ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἐβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ηὐξησεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐ τοῦ. It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches." 
Καὶ πάλιν εἶπεν, Τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ; And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 
ὁμοία ἐστὶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ [ἐν]έκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία ἑως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὁλον. It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
