NETBible

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with¹ three measures² of flour until all the dough had risen.”³

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “hid in.”

²sn 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.

³tn Grk “it was all leavened.”

³sn 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.
