Luke 13:22

20 Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21 It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23 “Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
