Matthew 16:5-12

New Matthew Bible

⁵ And when his disciples had come to the other side of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them. ⁶ Then Jesus said to them, Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ⁷ And they thought in themselves, saying, It is because we have brought no bread with us.

⁸ When Jesus understood this, he said to them, O ye of little faith, why are your minds cumbered because you have brought no bread? ⁹ Do you not yet perceive? Nor remember those five loaves when there were 5,000 men, and how many baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves when there were 4,000, and how many baskets you took up? ¹¹ Why do you not perceive then that I was not speaking to you about bread when I said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

¹² Then they understood that he was not telling them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
