From Matthew 13:33: 33 He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened." 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: From Luke 13:20-21: 20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Another version also appears in the Gospel Of Thomas (Patterson-Meyer Translation): 96. Jesus "The Father's kingdom is like [a woman. She took a little leaven, {Link without Title} it in dough, and made it into large loaves of bread. Anyone here with two ears had better listen!" The Gospel Of Thomas also has what appears to be a missing (or later added) second half of this parable: 97. Jesus said, "The {Link without Title} kingdom is like a woman who was carrying a {Link without Title} full of meal. While she was walking along {Link without Title} distant road, the handle of the jar broke and the meal spilled behind her {Link without Title} the road. She didn't know it; she hadn't noticed a problem. When she reached her house, she put the jar down and discovered that it was empty." 98. Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom is like a person who wanted to kill someone powerful. While still at home he drew his sword and thrust it into the wall to find out whether his hand would go in. Then he killed the powerful one." |
