Jesus began to warn His disciples about the dangers of hypocrisy in their lives. It would eat away and infiltrate much like yeast permeates a lump of dough. Another parable was given, illustrating the importance of preparing for eternity above preparing for an earthly future. Those who seek God's kingdom will be in much better position than those who worry about temporal details. The faithful disciple will be vigilant and prepared for his Master's return, will count the cost of his discipleship, and be aware of events around him.
Jesus then continued teaching about repentance. He healed a crippled woman that was beyond the care of doctors, and taught about the kingdom using comparisons to mustard seed and yeast - small things with a great influence. When Jerusalem rejected Him, Jesus mourned over the blessings that the city had forfeited.
