Mark 8:14-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

Watch Out for the Teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees

¹⁴ They had forgotten to take bread along except for one loaf that they had with them in the boat. ¹⁵ “Watch out,” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

¹⁶ They began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.

¹⁷ Since Jesus knew this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing your lack of bread? Do you still not understand or comprehend? Do you have a hardened heart? ¹⁸ You have eyes—do you not see? You have ears—do you not hear? Do you not remember? ¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?”

“Twelve,” they told him.

²⁰ “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?”

“Seven,” they said.

²¹ He said to them, “Do you still not comprehend?”
