He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?
What shall I testify unto thee? what shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
