Matthew 13:33
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven. In those days a piece
of the leavened dough from an unbaked loaf was put among the new dough
to cause fermentation.
Three measures of meal. The usual amount for one baking, an
ephah. See Genesis 18:6 Jud 6:19 1Sa 1:24.
Till all was leavened. The leaven is taken from without and "hid"
in the meal, or flour. The hidden leaven, though only a small quantity,
imparts its qualities to the large mass. The Parable teaches that the
Gospel is the leavening influence of the world.
