Parable on the mustard seed

Matthew 13:31-35, NIV

Map stones: the smallest seed grows into a majestic tree like the kingdom of God. Another analogy is the yeast working in a dough..worked through; utter hidden things since the creation of the world.

Matthew 13:31-34
[31]Jesus told them another parable: “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man takes a mustard seed and sows it in his field.
[32]It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows up, it is the biggest of all plants. It becomes a tree, so that birds come and make their nests in its branches.”
[33]Jesus told them still another parable: “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A woman takes some yeast and mixes it with forty litres of flour until the whole batch of dough rises.”
[34]Jesus used parables to tell all these things to the crowds; he would not say a thing to them without using a parable.
