Passage: Matthew 16:5-12 (RSV)


Matthew 16


5When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.
6Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."
7And they discussed it among themselves, saying, "We brought no bread."
8But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?
9Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
10Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
11How is it that you fail to perceive that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees."
12Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sad'ducees.
