SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:18
¶ Y dijo: ¿A qué es semejante el Reino de Dios, y a qué le compararé?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 13:18
Verse 18. - 19. The kingdom-is like a grain of mustard seed] See on Matt. xiii. 31.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Then said he, unto what is the kingdom of God like ? etc.] The same with the kingdom of heaven, in ( Matthew 13:31) and so the Ethiopic version reads it here, “and whereunto shall I resemble it?” of this way of speaking, (see Gill on “ Mark 4:30”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-22 - Here is the progress of the gospel foretold in two parables, as in M 13. The kingdom of the Messiah is the kingdom of God. May grace grow in our hearts; may our faith and love grow exceedingly, so as to giv undoubted evidence of their reality. May the example of God's saints be blessed to those among whom they live; and may his grace flow from heart to heart, until the little one becomes a thousand.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:18 {He said therefore} (elegen oun). It is not clear to what to refer "therefore," whether to the case of the woman in verse #11, the enthusiasm of the crowd in verse #17, or to something not recorded by Luke.
