Matthew 16:6-12 (Gospel)
- 6
- Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
- 7
- And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”
- 8
- But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?
- 9
- Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?
- 10
- Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?
- 11
- How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? – but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
- 12
- Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
