Matius 13:33
Konteks13:33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with 1 three measures 2 of flour until all the dough had risen.” 3
Matius 16:6-12
Konteks16:6 “Watch out,” Jesus said to them, “beware of the yeast of the Pharisees 4 and Sadducees.” 5 16:7 So 6 they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “It is because we brought no bread.” 16:8 When Jesus learned of this, 7 he said, “You who have such little faith! 8 Why are you arguing 9 among yourselves about having no bread? 16:9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? 16:10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up? 16:11 How could you not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!” 16:12 Then they understood that he had not told them to be on guard against the yeast in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
[13:33] 2 sn 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.
[13:33] 3 tn Grk “it was all leavened.”
[13:33] sn 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.
[16:6] 4 sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
[16:6] 5 sn See the note on Sadducees in 3:7.
[16:7] 6 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus’ saying about the Pharisees and Sadducees.
[16:8] 7 tn Or “becoming aware of it.”
