He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”

34

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

“I will open my mouth in parables;

I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
