NASB | Matthew 13:33 ¶ He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 13:33 ¶ He told them another parable, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and worked into three measures of flour until all of it was leavened." [Gen 18:6; Luke 13:21] |
Subject: Significance of three pecks? |
Bible Note: Hi Mark, Genesis 18:3, NKJ, "and said, 'My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do nto pass on by Your servant." Genesis 18:3, NASB, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass by your servant." Here by these translations/interpretations using capitalization, we have three pronouns to look at and determine. Are they looking at three men or the one God? Genesis 18:10, NKJ, "And He said,..." compared to NASB, "And he said,..." In looking at the passage in Matthew 13 for those versions we have a decision in interpretation for Matthew 13:37. NKJ, "He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man." NASB, "And He answered and said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man." The question is: Who is (h)He or the one who sows the good seed? The bottom line for me is the three pronouns found in verse 35, "so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "I will open My mouth in parable; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.""
