Matthew 13:33-35

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.

³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.

³⁵ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
