This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Mat_13:33
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."
Mat_13:33 "leaven" In the OT yeast was often a symbol of evil, but here it was an obvious symbol of the pervasiveness and growth of the Kingdom of God. Be careful of attaching one definition or connotation to a word, regardless of its context. Context determines meaning! See Special Topic at Mat_16:6.
▣ "hid" In context this refers to the mixing process. It describes the hiddenness of the kingdom.
