Luke 13:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:20

And again he said
That is, Jesus, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it; besides the parable of the grain of mustard seed, that also of the leaven hid in three measures of meal:

whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God;
either the Gospel of the kingdom, and the mysteries of it; or the church, which is Christ's kingdom; or the grace of God in the heart, which makes meet for the kingdom of glory; the first seems rather to be intended; (See Gill on Matthew 13:33).

Luke 13:20 In-Context

18 So he went on to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? With what will we compare it?
19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds flying about nested in its branches."
20 Again he said, "With what will I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with a bushel of flour, then waited until the whole batch of dough rose."
22 Yeshua continued traveling through town after town and village after village, teaching and making his way toward Yerushalayim.
