• here we find that there would be the spread of doctrine within — "leaven," used here, as well as elsewhere, for doctrine. For instance, we have "the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees," which our Lord called ,leaven." The thought here is to symbolize that which spreads and permeates what is exposed to it. (“Remarks on Matthew 13:31-52” by W. Kelly)

We know that the result of this was an awful departure from the truth. (“Remarks on Matthew 13:31-52” by W. Kelly)
