Watch Out for the Teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5When his disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread along. 6Jesus said to them, “Watch out and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7They were discussing this among themselves and said, “It is because we did not bring any bread.”
8Since Jesus knew what they were saying, he said, “You of little faith! Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you brought no bread? 9Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many basketfuls you picked up? 10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many basketfuls you picked up? 11How is it that you do not understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12Then they understood that he was not warning them about the yeast in bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
