The Parable of the Yeast
13:33He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with49 three measures50 of flour until all the dough had risen.”51
Footnotes
- 49 Grk “hid in.”
- 50 This measure was a saton, the Greek name for the Hebrew term “seah.” Three of these was a very large quantity of flour, since a saton is a little over 16 pounds (7 kg) of dry measure (or 13.13 liters). So this was over 47 lbs (21 kg) of flour total, enough to feed over a hundred people.
- 51 Grk “it was all leavened.” The parable of the yeast and the dough teaches that the kingdom of God will start small but eventually grow to permeate everything. Jesus’ point was not to be deceived by its seemingly small start, the same point made in the parable of the mustard seed, which preceded this one.
