Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
What can I say for you? With what can I compare you, Daughter Jerusalem? To what can I liken you, that I may comfort you, Virgin Daughter Zion? Your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can heal you?
“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.
