He told them another parable:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,
which a man planted in his field.
Though it is the smallest of all your seeds,
yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants
and becomes a tree,
so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
Matt. 13:31-32

"You are the light of the world.
A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light
to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men,
that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven."
Matt. 5:14-16
