5 The disciples had forgotten to bring any bread when they crossed the lake.16.5 crossed the lake: To the east side.6 Lk 12.1.Jesus then warned them, "Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 The disciples talked this over and said to each other, "He must be saying this because we didn’t bring along any bread."
8 Jesus knew what they were thinking and said:
You surely don’t have much faith! Why are you talking about not having any bread? 9 Mt 14.17-21.Don’t you understand? Have you forgotten about the 5,000 people and all those baskets of leftovers from just five loaves of bread? 10 Mt 15.34-38.And what about the 4,000 people and all those baskets of leftovers from only seven loaves of bread? 11 Don’t you know by now that I am not talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!
12 Finally, the disciples understood that Jesus wasn’t talking about the yeast used to make bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
