New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod
14 Now the disciples[a] had forgotten to bring any bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”[b](A) 16 They said to one another, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?(B) 18 Do you have eyes and fail to see? Do you have ears and fail to hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” They said to him, “Twelve.”(C) 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” And they said to him, “Seven.”(D) 21 Then he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”(E)

International Standard Version
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees(A)
14 Now the disciples[a] had forgotten to take any bread along, but they had one loaf with them in the boat. 15 Jesus[b] had been warning them, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”[c]
16 So they were discussing with one another the fact that they didn’t have any bread. 17 Knowing this, Jesus[d] asked them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you don’t have any bread? Don’t you understand or perceive yet? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes, but fail to see? Do you have ears, but fail to hear?[e] Don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?”
They told him, “Twelve.”
20 “When I broke[f] the seven loaves[g] for the 4,000, how many large baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?”
They told him, “Seven.”
21 Then he asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
