Jesus tells the parable of the mustard seed

Matthew 13:31-32	Mark 4:30-32	Luke 13:18-19
Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven	Mark 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?	Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:	Mark 4:31 [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth,	Luke 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden;
Matthew 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds:	is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.	Mark 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.	and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

Matthew 13:33	Luke 13:20-21
	Luke 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Matthew 13:33 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.	Luke 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
