Matthew 13:33

33He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds13:33 Or about 27 kilograms of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

33He spoke another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like 13:33 I.e., fermented doughleaven, which a woman took and hid in three 13:33 A Gr term for a Heb measure, totaling about 48 lb. or 22 kg of floursata of flour until it was all leavened.”

33He spoke another parable to them, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.”

33He told them another parable, “The kingdom of heaven is like 13:33 This is the first time leaven is mentioned in the New Testament. See Ex 12:15 for the first mention of leaven in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word (seor) refers specifically to the leavening agent (as opposed to dough containing it), which today is thought of as yeast, a type of fungi. In Jewish thinking, leaven was symbolic of impurity and corruption. Jesus used it as a symbol for the corrupt and hypocritical teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees (see especially Luke 12:1; cf Matt 16:11; Mark 8:15), but He also used leaven’s ability to permeate a mass of dough many times its own size as an illustration of the spread of the kingdom of heaven as here and in Luke 13:21.leaven, which a woman took and worked into three 13:33 A measure was about a peck and a half, which would be enough bread to feed a hundred people.measures of flour until all of it was leavened.” [Gen 18:6; Luke 13:21]

33He 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.”

33Jesus told them still another story. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast,” he said. “A woman mixed it into 60 pounds of flour. The yeast worked its way all through the dough.”
