Gospel: Luke 13:18-21
18 He said, "What is God's Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches."
20 Again he said, "To what shall I compare God's Kingdom?
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures *literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel of flour, until it was all leavened."
*13:21: literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel

Romans 8:18-25
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed towards us.
19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.
