OET (OET-LV) Then they_understood that he_ not _said to_be_taking_heed of the leaven of_the loaves, but of the teaching of_the Farisaios_party and Saddoukaios_sect.

OET (OET-RV) Then they understood that he wasn’t talking about yeast that’s used to make bread, but about the teachings of the Pharisees’ party and of the Sadducee sect.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:5–12: Jesus warned against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees

In this section, Jesus warned his disciples about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees and Sadducees refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah. And they tried to keep other Jews from believing that Jesus was the Messiah. They opposed Jesus and his message.

Jesus warned his disciples about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees by telling them to be careful of their “leaven/yeast.” Jesus used leaven/yeast in a metaphorical sense to refer to their teaching. But the disciples thought that he referred to literal leaven/yeast. They thought that he said these things because they had forgotten to take bread on their trip. Jesus rebuked them for not understanding. Then he used some rhetorical questions to help them understand the correct meaning of his words.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Guard Against Wrong Teachings (NCV)

The yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees (NJB)

The teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees is compared to yeast

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 8:14–21.

Paragraph 16:5–12

In this paragraph Jesus warned the disciples about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

16:12a

Then they understood that He was not telling them to beware of

beware: This word is the same word as in 16:6 and 16:11b.

16:12b

the leaven used in bread,

the leaven used in bread: This phrase means “the leaven/yeast used to make bread.” The disciples finally understood that Jesus was not talking about literal leaven/yeast.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the leaven/yeast used in the making of bread

the leaven/yeast put in bread

the leaven/yeast that people use when making bread

16:12c

but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

but: There is a contrast here. The contrast is between what Jesus was not talking about and what he was talking about. (He was not talking about guarding against the yeast used in bread. Instead, he was talking about guarding against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees). Languages have different ways to indicate this negative-positive type of contrast.One of the functions of the Greek conjunction ἀλλά is to signal this negative-positive type of contrast. Here are some other ways to translate this:

of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees: The words “to beware of” are implied from 16:12a but not repeated here. In some languages, it will be natural to make these words explicit. For example:

but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees

the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees: This phrase refers to the things that the Pharisees and Sadducees taught. For example:

the things that the Pharisees and Sadducees taught

the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

συνῆκαν

˱they˲_understood

The pronoun they refers to the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: [the disciples understood]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

not ˱he˲_said ˓to_be˒_taking_heed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων ἀλλά ἀπό τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two clauses here. Alternate translation: [he had told them to guard from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees, not from the yeast of loaves]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων

the leaven ˱of˲_the loaves

Matthew is using the possessive form to describe yeast that people use to make loaves. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the yeast used to make loaves]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων ἀλλά ἀπό τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [but to guard from]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

the the teaching ˱of˲_the Pharisees (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἄρτων ἀλλά ἀπό τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of teaching, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the things that the Pharisees and Sadducees taught]

OET (OET-LV) Then they_understood that he_ not _said to_be_taking_heed of the leaven of_the loaves, but of the teaching of_the Farisaios_party and Saddoukaios_sect.

OET (OET-RV) Then they understood that he wasn’t talking about yeast that’s used to make bread, but about the teachings of the Pharisees’ party and of the Sadducee sect.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
