Luke 13:21 Douay-Rheims

It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Eusebius of Caesarea

c. A.D. 260–339 Patristic

Or else, by the leaven our Lord means the Holy Spirit, the Sower proceeding (as it were) from the seed, which is the word of God. But the three measures of meal, signify the knowledge of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which the woman, that is, Divine wisdom, and the Holy Spirit, impart.
