Gospel<\/u>       Matthew 13.31\u201333,44\u201352<\/h2>\n

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew<\/em><\/h2>\n

All<\/em>          Glory to you, O Lord.    <\/h2>\n

He put before them another parable: \u2018The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.\u2019<\/p>\n

He told them another parable: \u2018The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.<\/p>\n

\u2018Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls;on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.<\/p>\n

\u2018Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind; when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n

\u2018Have you understood all this?\u2019 They answered, \u2018Yes.\u2019 And he said to them, \u2018Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.\u2019<\/p>\n

This is the Gospel of the Lord.<\/p>\n

All<\/em>           Praise to you, O Christ.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
