Matthew 16

Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5 And when**Here "when" is supplied as a component of the participle ("arrived") which is understood as temporal the disciples arrived at the other side,*That is, the other side of the Sea of Galilee they had forgotten to take bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 7 So they were discussing this**Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation among themselves, saying, "It is because we did not take bread." 8 But knowing this,**Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation Jesus said, "Why are you discussing among yourselves that you did not take bread,*Some manuscripts have "you do not have bread" you of little faith? 9 Do you not yet understand or do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up? 11 How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" 12 Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
