Then Jesus told the people another story: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman mixes into a big bowl of flour to make bread. The yeast makes all the dough (bread) rise.”
Then Jesus said to the followers, “So every teacher of the law who has been taught \{the new things\} about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house. He has new things and old things saved in that house. And he brings out those new things with the old things.”
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten girls that went to wait for the bridegroom. {\cf2\super [383]} They brought their lamps with them.
“\{The kingdom of heaven is\} like a man leaving home to travel to another place for a visit. Before the man left, he talked with his servants. The man told his servants to take care of the things he owned while he was gone.
So don’t judge before the right time; wait until the Lord comes. He will shine light on the things that are hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of people’s hearts. Then God will give every person the praise he should get.
