Luke 13:18-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
18So He was saying, 'What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? 19It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.'
20And again He said, 'To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three sata of flour until it was all leavened.'
22And He was passing through one city and village after another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem.
23And someone said to Him, 'Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?' And He said to them,
24Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
King James Version
