Matthew 16:5-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ The disciples reached the other shore,^[a] and they had forgotten to take bread.

⁶ Then Jesus told them, “Watch out and beware of the yeast^[b] of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”^(A)

⁷ And they discussed among themselves, “We didn’t bring any bread.”

⁸ Aware of this, Jesus said, “You of little faith!^(B) Why are you discussing among yourselves that you do not have bread? ⁹ Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the 5,000 and how many baskets you collected? ¹⁰ Or the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many large baskets you collected?^{(C) 11} Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”^{(D) 12} Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the yeast in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.^(E)
