Matthew 16:6-11
16:6 “Watch out,” Jesus said to them, “beware of the yeast of the Pharisees 1 and Sadducees.” 2
16:7 So 3 they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “It is because we brought no bread.”
16:8 When Jesus learned of this, 4 he said, “You who have such little faith! 5 Why are you arguing 6 among yourselves about having no bread?
16:9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
16:10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up?
16:11 How could you not understand that I was not speaking to you about bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
