Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. Luke, XII-XVIII: A Devotional Commentary He turned to His disciples, and said, Beware ye of the leaven Of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Leaven, which is a form of corruption, is almost always taken in the Bible as a symbol of evil, as when St Paul1 speaks Of the Old leaven, the leaven Of malice and wickedness. Only once is the idea redeemed to a nobler use in one Of our Lord's parables - how characteristic that He should uplift a degraded word l - when He makes it a picture Of the working of the Kingdom. This hypocrisy Of the Pharisees was not only a corrupt thing it was, like the leaven, a pervasive thing, damaging the standard of good ness throughout the whole community. The words that follow are almost an exact replica Of St Matt. X. 26, 27. There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall not be known.
