Parallel: Open My Mouth in a Parable

MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN

31a.¶ Another parable 30.¶ And he said, 08:21 05:47
put he forth unto them, Whereunto shall we
saying, liken the kingdom of
God? or with what com-
parison shall we com-
pare it?
31b. The kingdom of 31a. It is like a grain of 08:21 05:47
heaven is like to a mustard seed,
grain of mustard seed,
which a man took, and
sowed in his field:
32a. Which indeed is 31b. which, when it is 08:21 05:47
the least of all seeds: sown in the earth, is
less than all the seeds
that be in the earth:
32b. but when it is 32. But when it is sown, 08:21 05:47
grown, it is the greatest it growth up, and be-
among herbs, and be- cometh greater than all
cometh a tree, so that herbs, and shooteth out
the birds of the air great branches; so that
come and lodge in the the fowls of the air may
branches thereof. lodge under the sha-
dow of it.
33.¶ Another parable 04:32 08:21 05:47
spake he unto them;
The kingdom of heaven
is like unto leaven,
which a woman took,
and hid in three meas-
ures of meal, till the
whole was leavened.
34a. All these things 33. And with many such 08:21 05:47
spake Jesus unto the parables spake he the
multitude in parables; word unto them, as they
were able to hear it.
34b. and without a 34a. But without a para- 08:21 05:47
parable spake he not ble spake he not unto
unto them: them:
35. That it might be ful- 04:34 08:21 05:47
filled which was spok-
en by the prophet,
saying, I will open my
mouth in parables; I
will utter things which
have been kept secret
from the foundation of
the world.
