Matthew 13

The Parables of the Kingdom Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Medium · Ends on Matthew 13:44

Matthew 13 is a chapter of short, strange comparisons, one after another: the kingdom is like treasure hid in a field, like a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, like a grain of mustard seed, like leaven a woman hid in three measures of meal. Parables of the Kingdom makes a grid of them all.

Each clue points at one parable's distinguishing object, so solving the puzzle sorts the chapter into its parts. The closing verse is the treasure in the field, and the joy of the man who found it.
