Matthew 13:33·~1 min
The Parable of the Leaven
Jesus compares the kingdom to leaven mixed into flour until the whole batch is leavened.
H33e told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
Section summaryA woman hides leaven in flour until all of it rises. The kingdom works inwardly and quietly until the whole mixture is changed.
