The Leaven
55. He told the people another parable, "The spiritual kingdom is like leaven, which a woman took and mixed into three bushels of flour until it was thoroughly leavened."
56. Jmmanuel told the people all of this in parables, and he did not speak to them without using parables,
57. so that what is said through the prophet would be fulfilled, who states, "He will open his mouth in parables and will proclaim what has been hidden since the beginning of the world." This was so that people might learn from it, find the truth, and recognize and follow the laws.
