LUKE 11:53 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:”
What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough — the kingdom's invisible transformation of the whole from within contrasts with the external, dramatic, triumphalist expectations of the crowds. The yeast does not announce itself; it works silently and pervasively until the entire lump is leavened, and the kingdom's growth is measured in transformation, not in spectacle.
