Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 13:21

"It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened." — Luke 13:21 (ASV)

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

That woman of Rome has hidden her leaven in the church, and it has leavened the whole; and now the woman of intellect has put her leaven into the church. Conceited self-invention of new doctrines, perversion of the simplicity of the gospel, that kind of leaven has been hidden in the meal of the church, and it is leavening the whole.

God help us to keep out the leaven both of Romanism and of Rationalism!
