OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said to_them:

OET (OET-RV) and Yeshua told them, “Watch out for the yeast from the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

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.

16:6

“Watch out!” Jesus told them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Watch out…Beware: The two verbs Watch out and Beware are a doublet. This means that these two verbs have almost the same meaning. Jesus used these two verbs with a similar meaning to emphasize the warning that he was giving his disciples. He warned them to pay attention to a possible danger.

In some languages, it is natural to emphasize a warning using two verbs. In other languages it may not be natural to use two verbs like this. If that is true in your language, you may need to emphasize the warning in another way. (See an example below.)

Here are some other ways to translate these verbs:

Be careful! Watch out (GW)

Look out! Beware of

Be very careful of

the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees: The Greek word that the BSB translates as leaven refers to a substance that is also called “yeast.” A person mixes leaven/yeast with water and flour. Then it spreads throughout the flour and makes the dough expand/rise. The dough is then baked in an oven and becomes bread.

Here Jesus used the word leaven as a metaphor to refer to the bad influences of the Pharisees and Sadducees. But at first the disciples misunderstood him. They thought that he was talking about real leaven/yeast. So you should translate leaven here in a normal, non-figurative way.

Here are some other ways to translate leaven/yeast:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁρᾶτε καί προσέχετε ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὁρᾶτε καὶ προσέχετε ἀπὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁρᾶτε καί προσέχετε ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

The terms See and guard mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Guard against] or [Keep away from]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὁρᾶτε καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁρᾶτε καί προσέχετε ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

Here, the word See means that the disciples need to make sure that something happens or does not happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a similar form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Make sure that you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

the leaven ˱of˲_the Pharisees (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁρᾶτε καί προσέχετε ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe yeast that the Pharisees and Sadducees have or use. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the yeast that the Pharisees and Sadducees have]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

the leaven ˱of˲_the Pharisees (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁρᾶτε καί προσέχετε ἀπό τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καί Σαδδουκαίων)

Here, yeast is a metaphor that refers to what the Pharisees and Sadducees teach. However, the disciples did not immediately understand that Jesus was using a metaphor; instead, they do not realize what yeast refers to until [16:12](../16/12.md). So, you should preserve the metaphor here without explaining its meaning, since Matthew will give an explanation in [16:12](../16/12.md).
