Now after the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the days of King Herod, astrologers from the east arrived at Jerusalem,

John wore clothing made of hair cloth, and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he lived on dried locusts and wild honey.

And I tell you, many will come from the east and from the west and take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven,

Another figure which he used with them was this: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took and buried in a bushel of flour until it had all risen."

And Jesus said to them, "Look out, and be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

Why do you not see that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

Then they understood that he was warning them not against yeast but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

For just as the lightning starts in the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
