2 "The kingdom of heaven     the kingdom of God?   "The kingdom of  the Father 
  is like leaven*     It is like leaven*   is like a woman.*
  which a woman* took     which a woman* took  2 She took a little leaven,* 
3 and hid     and hid   [hid] it 
  in three measures     in three measures   in 
  of flour,     of flour,   dough,
  till it was all leavened."     till it was all leavened."   and made it
            into large loaves of bread."

In the gospel of Thomas it appears as an independent aphorism.
