A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened--This parable, while it teaches the same general truth as the foregoing one, holds forth, perhaps, rather the inward growth of the kingdom, while "the Mustard Seed" seems to point chiefly to the outward. It being a woman's work to knead, it seems a refinement to say that "the woman" here represents the Church, as the instrument of depositing the leaven. Nor does it yield much satisfaction to understand the "three measures of meal" of that threefold division of our nature into "spirit, soul, and body," alluded to in Th1 5:23, or of the threefold partition of the world among the three sons of Noah (Gen 10:32), as some do. It yields more real satisfaction to see in this brief parable just the all-penetrating and assimilating quality of the Gospel, by virtue of which it will yet mould all institutions and tribes of men, and exhibit over the whole earth one "kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ."

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The kingdom of heaven - The meaning here is the same as in the last parable; perhaps, however, intending to denote more properly the secret and hidden nature of piety in the soul. The other parable declared the "fact" that the gospel would greatly spread, and that piety in the heart would greatly increase. This states the "way" or "mode" in which it would be done. It is secret, silent, steady; pervading all the faculties of the soul and all the kingdoms of the world, as leaven, or yeast, though hidden in the flour, and though deposited only in one place, works silently until all the mass is brought under its influence. Three measures - These were small measures (see the margin); but the particular amount is of no consequence to the story; nor is anything to be inferred from the fact that three are mentioned. That number is mentioned as a circumstance giving interest to the parable, but designed to convey no spiritual instruction. The measure mentioned here probably contained about a peck and a half.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
Another parable That interpretation of the parable of the Leaven (Mat 13:33) which makes (with variation as to details) the leaven to be the Gospel, introduced into the world ("three measures of meal") by the church, and working subtly until the world is converted ("till the whole was leavened") is open to fatal objection: (1) it does violence to the unvarying symbolical meaning of leaven, and especially to the meaning fixed by our Lord Himself. (Mat 16:6-12); (Mar 8:15). See "Leaven," (Gen 19:3). (See Scofield) - (Mat 13:33). (2) The implication of a converted world in this age ("till the whole was leavened"), is explicitly contradicted by our Lord's interpretation of the parables of the Wheat and Tares, and of the Net. Our Lord presents a picture of a partly converted kingdom in an unconverted world; of good fish and bad in the very kingdom-net itself. (3) The method of the extension of the kingdom is given in the first parable. It is by sowing seed, not by mingling leaven. The symbols have, in Scripture, a meaning fixed by inspired usage. Leaven is the principle of corruption working subtly; is invariably used in a bad sense. See "Leaven," (See Scofield) - (Gen 19:3), and is defined by our Lord as evil doctrine. (Mat 16:11-12); (Mar 8:15). Meal, on the contrary, was used in one of the sweet-savour offerings (Lev 2:1-3). And was food for the priests (Lev 6:15-17). A woman, in the bad ethical sense, always symbolizes something out of place, religiously, (See Scofield) - (Zac 5:6). In Thyatira, it was a woman teaching. Compare (Rev 2:20); (Rev 17:1-6). Interpreting the parable by these familiar symbols, it constitutes a warning that the true doctrine, given for nourishment of the children of the kingdom; (Mat 4:4); (Ti1 4:6); (Pe1 2:2) would be mingled with corrupt and corrupting false doctrine, and that officially, by the apostate church itself; (Ti1 4:1-3); (Ti2 2:17-18); (Ti2 4:3-4); (Pe2 2:1-3). Leaven Summary: (1) Leaven, as a symbolic or typical substance, is always mentioned in the Old Testament in an evil sense (Gen 19:3); (See Scofield) - (Gen 19:3). (2) The use of the word in the New Testament explains its symbolic meaning. It is "malice and wickedness," as contrasted with "sincerity and truth" (Co1 5:6-8); it is evil doctrine (Mat 16:12) in its three-fold form of Pharisasism, Sadduceeism, Herodianism; (Mat 16:6); (Mar 8:15). The leaven of the Pharisees was externalism in religion. (Mat 23:14); (Mat 23:16); (Mat 23:23-28); of the Sadducees, scepticism as to the supernatural and as to the Scriptures (Mat 22:23); (Mat 22:29); of the Herodians, worldliness -- a Herod party amongst the Jews; (Mat 22:16-21); (Mar 3:6). (3) The use of the word in (Mat 13:33) is congruous with its universal meaning.

Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886]
Leaven (ζύμῃ) Wyc., sour dough, as German Sauerteig. From ζέω, to boil or seethe, as in fermentation. The English leaven is from the Latin levare, to raise, and appears in the French levain.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Three measures - This was the quantity which they usually baked at once: till the whole was leavened - Thus will the Gospel leaven the world and grace the Christian. Luk 13:20.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven - On the nature and effects of leaven, see the note on Exo 12:8. As the property of leaven is to change, or assimulate to its own nature, the meal or dough with which it is mixed, so the property of the grace of Christ is to change the whole soul into its own likeness; and God intends that this principle should continue in the soul till all is leavened - till the whole bear the image of the heavenly, as it before bore the image of the earthly. Both these parables are prophetic, and were intended to show, principally, how, from very small beginnings, the Gospel of Christ should pervade all the nations of the world, and fill them with righteousness and true holiness.

³² These are the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Noah [05146], after their generations [08435], in their nations [01471]: and by these were the nations [01471] divided [06504] in the earth [0776] after [0310] the flood [03999].

²³ And [1161] the very [846] God [2316] of peace [1515] sanctify [37] you [5209] wholly [3651]; and [2532] I pray God your [5216] whole [3648] spirit [4151] and [2532] soul [5590] and [2532] body [4983] be preserved [5083] blameless [274] unto [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].

³³ Another [243] parable [3850] spake he [2980] unto them [846]; The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto leaven [2219], which [3739] a woman [1135] took [2983], and hid [1470] in [1519] three [5140] measures [4568] of meal [224], till [2193] the whole [3650] was [3739] leavened [2220].

⁶ And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] went forth [1831], and straightway [2112] took [4160] counsel [4824] with [3326] the Herodians [2265] against [2596] him [846], how [3704] they might destroy [622] him [846].

¹⁶ And [2532] they sent out [649] unto him [846] their [846] disciples [3101] with [3326] the Herodians [2265], saying [3004], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou art [1488] true [227], and [2532] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] in [1722] truth [225], [2532] neither [3756] carest [3199] thou [4671] for [4012] any [3762] man: for [1063] thou regardest [991] not [1519] [3756] the person [4383] of men [444].
¹⁷ Tell [2036] us [2254] therefore [3767], What [5101] thinkest [1380] thou [4671]? Is it lawful [1832] to give [1325] tribute [2778] unto Caesar [2541], or [2228] not [3756]?
¹⁸ But [1161] Jesus [2424] perceived [1097] their [846] wickedness [4189], and said [2036], Why [5101] tempt ye [3985] me [3165], ye hypocrites [5273]?
¹⁹ Shew [1925] me [3427] the tribute [2778] money [3546]. And [1161] they brought [4374] unto him [846] a penny [1220].
²⁰ And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Whose [5101] is this [3778] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923]?
²¹ They say [3004] unto him [846], Caesar's [2541]. Then [5119] saith he [3004] unto them [846], Render [591] therefore [3767] unto Caesar [2541] the things which are [3588] Caesar's [2541]; and [2532] unto God [2316] the things that are [3588] God's [2316].

²⁹ Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Ye do err [4105], not [3361] knowing [1492] the scriptures [1124], nor [3366] the power [1411] of God [2316].

²³ The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] came [4334] to him [846] the Sadducees [4523], which [3588] say [3004] that there is [1511] no [3361] resurrection [386], and [2532] asked [1905] him [846],

²³ Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye pay tithe [586] of mint [2238] and [2532] anise [432] and [2532] cummin [2951], and [2532] have omitted [863] the weightier [926] matters of the law [3551], judgment [2920], [2532] mercy [1656], and [2532] faith [4102]: these [5023] ought ye [1163] to have done [4160], and not [3361] to leave [863] the other [2548] undone [863].
²⁴ Ye blind [5185] guides [3595], which strain at [1368] a gnat [2971], and [1161] swallow [2666] a camel [2574].
²⁵ Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye make clean [2511] the outside [1855] of the cup [4221] and [2532] of the platter [3953], but [1161] within [2081] they are full [1073] of [1537] extortion [724] and [2532] excess [192].
²⁶ Thou blind [5185] Pharisee [5330], cleanse [2511] first [4412] that which is within [1787] the cup [4221] and [2532] platter [3953], that [2443] the outside [1622] of them [846] may be [1096] clean [2513] also [2532].
²⁷ Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye are like [3945] unto whited [2867] sepulchres [5028], which [3748] indeed [3303] appear [5316] beautiful [5611] outward [1855], but [1161] are within [2081] full [1073] of dead [3498] men's bones [3747], and [2532] of all [3956] uncleanness [167].
²⁸ Even so [3779] ye [5210] also [2532] [3303] outwardly [1855] appear [5316] righteous [1342] unto men [444], but [1161] within [2081] ye are [2075] full [3324] of hypocrisy [5272] and [2532] iniquity [458].

¹⁶ Woe [3759] unto you [5213], ye blind [5185] guides [3595], which [3588] say [3004], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the temple [3485], it is [2076] nothing [3762]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the gold [5557] of the temple [3485], he is a debtor [3784] !

¹⁴ Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye devour [2719] widows [5503]' houses [3614], and [2532] for a pretence [4392] make [4336] long [3117] prayer [4336]: therefore [1223] [5124] ye shall receive [2983] the greater [4055] damnation [2917].

¹⁵ And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846], saying [3004], Take heed [3708], beware [991] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] of the leaven [2219] of Herod [2264].

⁶ Then [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Take heed [3708] and [2532] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523].

¹² Then [5119] understood they [4920] how that [3754] he bade [2036] them not [3756] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of bread [740], but [235] of [575] the doctrine [1322] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523].

⁶ Your [5216] glorying [2745] is not [3756] good [2570]. Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] a little [3398] leaven [2219] leaveneth [2220] the whole [3650] lump [5445]?
⁷ Purge out [1571] therefore [3767] the old [3820] leaven [2219], that [2443] ye may be [5600] a new [3501] lump [5445], as [2531] ye are [2075] unleavened [106]. For [1063] even [2532] Christ [5547] our [2257] passover [3957] is sacrificed [2380] for [5228] us [2257]:
⁸ Therefore [5620] let us keep the feast [1858], not [3361] with [1722] old [3820] leaven [2219], neither [3366] with [1722] the leaven [2219] of malice [2549] and [2532] wickedness [4189]; but [235] with [1722] the unleavened [106] bread of sincerity [1505] and [2532] truth [225].

³ And he pressed [06484] upon them greatly [03966]; and they turned in [05493] unto him, and entered [0935] into his house [01004]; and he made [06213] them a feast [04960], and did bake [0644] unleavened bread [04682], and they did eat [0398].

¹ But [1161] there were [1096] false prophets [5578] also [2532] among [1722] the people [2992], even [2532] as [5613] there shall be [2071] false teachers [5572] among [1722] you [5213], who [3748] privily shall bring in [3919] damnable [684] heresies [139], even [2532] denying [720] the Lord [1203] that bought [59] them [846], and bring [1863] upon themselves [1438] swift [5031] destruction [684].
² And [2532] many [4183] shall follow [1811] their [846] pernicious ways [684]; by reason of [1223] whom [3739] the way [3598] of truth [225] shall be evil spoken of [987].
³ And [2532] through [1722] covetousness [4124] shall they with feigned [4112] words [3056] make merchandise [1710] of you [5209]: whose [3739] judgment [2917] now of a long time [1597] lingereth [691] not [3756], and [2532] their [846] damnation [684] slumbereth [3573] not [3756].

³ For [1063] the time [2540] will come [2071] when [3753] they will [430] not [3756] endure [430] sound [5198] doctrine [1319]; but [235] after [2596] their own [2398] lusts [1939] shall they heap [2002] to themselves [1438] teachers [1320], having itching [2833] ears [189];
⁴ And [2532] they shall turn away [3303] [654] their ears [189] from [575] the truth [225], and [1161] shall be turned [1624] unto [1909] fables [3454].

¹⁷ And [2532] their [846] word [3056] will eat [2192] [3542] as [5613] doth a canker [1044]: of whom [3739] is [2076] Hymenaeus [5211] and [2532] Philetus [5372];
¹⁸ Who [3748] concerning [4012] the truth [225] have erred [795], saying [3004] that the resurrection [386] is past [1096] already [2235]; and [2532] overthrow [396] the faith [4102] of some [5100].

¹ Now [1161] the Spirit [4151] speaketh [3004] expressly [4490], that [3754] in [1722] the latter [5306] times [2540] some [5100] shall depart from [868] the faith [4102], giving heed [4337] to seducing [4108] spirits [4151], and [2532] doctrines [1319] of devils [1140];
² Speaking lies [5573] in [1722] hypocrisy [5272]; having [2743] their [2398] conscience [4893] seared with a hot iron [2743];
³ Forbidding [2967] to marry [1060], and commanding to abstain from [567] meats [1033], which [3739] God [2316] hath created [2936] to [1519] be received [3336] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169] of them which believe [4103] and [2532] know [1921] the truth [225].

² As [5613] newborn [738] babes [1025], desire [1971] the sincere [97] milk [1051] of the word [3050], that [2443] ye may grow [837] thereby [1722] [846]:

⁶ If thou put [5294] the brethren [80] in remembrance [5294] of these things [5023], thou shalt be [2071] a good [2570] minister [1249] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], nourished up [1789] in the words [3056] of faith [4102] and [2532] of good [2570] doctrine [1319], whereunto [3739] thou hast attained [3877].

⁴ But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is written [1125], Man [444] shall [2198] not [3756] live [2198] by [1909] bread [740] alone [3441], but [235] by [1909] every [3956] word [4487] that proceedeth [1607] out of [1223] the mouth [4750] of God [2316].

¹ And [2532] there came [2064] one [1520] of [1537] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3588] had [2192] the seven [2033] vials [5357], and [2532] talked [2980] with [3326] me [1700], saying [3004] unto me [3427], Come hither [1204]; I will shew [1166] unto thee [4671] the judgment [2917] of the great [3173] whore [4204] that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] many [4183] waters [5204]:
² With [3326] whom [3739] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] have committed fornication [4203], and [2532] the inhabitants [2730] of the earth [1093] have been made drunk [3184] with [1537] the wine [3631] of her [846] fornication [4202].
³ So [2532] he carried [667] me [3165] away [667] in [1722] the spirit [4151] into [1519] the wilderness [2048]: and [2532] I saw [1492] a woman [1135] sit [2521] upon [1909] a scarlet coloured [2847] beast [2342], full of [1073] names [3686] of blasphemy [988], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768].
⁴ And [2532] the woman [1135] was [2258] arrayed [4016] in purple [4209] and [2532] scarlet colour [2847], and [2532] decked [5558] with gold [5557] and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037] and [2532] pearls [3135], having [2192] a golden [5552] cup [4221] in [1722] her [846] hand [5495] full of [1073] abominations [946] and [2532] filthiness [168] of her [846] fornication [4202]:
⁵ And [2532] upon [1909] her [846] forehead [3359] was a name [3686] written [1125], MYSTERY [3466], BABYLON [897] THE GREAT [3173], THE MOTHER [3384] OF HARLOTS [4204] AND [2532] ABOMINATIONS [946] OF THE EARTH [1093].
⁶ And [2532] I saw [1492] the woman [1135] drunken [3184] with [1537] the blood [129] of the saints [40], and [2532] with [1537] the blood [129] of the martyrs [3144] of Jesus [2424]: and [2532] when I saw [1492] her [846], I wondered [2296] with great [3173] admiration [2295].

²⁰ Notwithstanding [235] I have [2192] a few things [3641] against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou sufferest [1439] that woman [1135] Jezebel [2403], which [3588] calleth [3004] herself [1438] a prophetess [4398], to teach [1321] and [2532] to seduce [4105] my [1699] servants [1401] to commit fornication [4203], and [2532] to eat [5315] things sacrificed unto idols [1494].

⁶ And I said [0559], What is it? And he said [0559], This is an ephah [0374] that goeth forth [03318]. He said [0559] moreover, This is their resemblance [05869] through all the earth [0776].

¹⁵ And he shall take [07311] of it his handful [07062], of the flour [05560] of the meat offering [04503], and of the oil [08081] thereof, and all the frankincense [03828] which is upon the meat offering [04503], and shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], even the memorial [0234] of it, unto the LORD [03068].
¹⁶ And the remainder [03498] thereof shall Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] eat [0398]: with unleavened bread [04682] shall it be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]; in the court [02691] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] they shall eat [0398] it.
¹⁷ It shall not be baken [0644] with leaven [02557]. I have given [05414] it unto them for their portion [02506] of my offerings made by fire [0801]; it is most [06944] holy [06944], as is the sin offering [02403], and as the trespass offering [0817].

¹ And when any [05315] will offer [07126] a meat [04503] offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], his offering [07133] shall be of fine flour [05560]; and he shall pour [03332] oil [08081] upon it, and put [05414] frankincense [03828] thereon:
² And he shall bring [0935] it to Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] the priests [03548]: and he shall take [07061] thereout [08033] his handful [07062] [04393] of the flour [05560] thereof, and of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof; and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it upon the altar [04196], to be an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]:
³ And the remnant [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].

¹⁵ And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846], saying [3004], Take heed [3708], beware [991] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] of the leaven [2219] of Herod [2264].

¹¹ How [4459] is it that [3754] ye do [3539] not [3756] understand [3539] that I spake [2036] it not [3756] to you [5213] concerning [4012] bread [740], that ye should beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523]?
¹² Then [5119] understood they [4920] how that [3754] he bade [2036] them not [3756] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of bread [740], but [235] of [575] the doctrine [1322] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523].

¹⁵ And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846], saying [3004], Take heed [3708], beware [991] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] of the leaven [2219] of Herod [2264].

⁶ Then [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Take heed [3708] and [2532] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523].
⁷ And [1161] they reasoned [1260] among [1722] themselves [1438], saying [3004], It is because [3754] we have taken [2983] no [3756] bread [740].
⁸ Which when [1161] Jesus [2424] perceived [1097], he said [2036] unto them [846], O ye of little faith [3640], why [5101] reason ye [1260] among [1722] yourselves [1438], because [3754] ye have brought [2983] no [3756] bread [740]?
⁹ Do ye [3539] not yet [3768] understand [3539], neither [3761] remember [3421] the five [4002] loaves [740] of the five thousand [4000], and [2532] how many [4214] baskets [2894] ye took up [2983]?
¹⁰ Neither [3761] the seven [2033] loaves [740] of the four thousand [5070], and [2532] how many [4214] baskets [4711] ye took up [2983]?
¹¹ How [4459] is it that [3754] ye do [3539] not [3756] understand [3539] that I spake [2036] it not [3756] to you [5213] concerning [4012] bread [740], that ye should beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523]?
¹² Then [5119] understood they [4920] how that [3754] he bade [2036] them not [3756] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of bread [740], but [235] of [575] the doctrine [1322] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523].

²⁰ And [2532] again [3825] he said [2036], Whereunto [5101] shall I liken [3666] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]?

⁸ And they shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] in that night [03915], roast [06748] with fire [0784], and unleavened bread [04682]; and with bitter [04844] herbs they shall eat [0398] it.
