Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7
At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn’t
brought any bread.
8
Jesus knew what they were saying, so He said, “You have so little
faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?
9
Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed
with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?
10
Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of
leftovers you picked up?
11
Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So
again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”

yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and
Sadducees.

defile the man.
16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
