The yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

Mat 16:5–12

Mark 8:14–21

16:5 The yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

(Mark 8:14-21)

5Now Yeshua’s apprentices had crossed the lake, but they forgot to take any yeast 6[ref]and Yeshua told them, “Watch out for the yeast from the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

7This caused a discussion among them trying to figure out if he was scolding them for not bringing any bread.

8But Yeshua knew what they were saying, and asked them, “You all with little faith. Why are you discussing among yourselves about not having bread? 9[ref]Haven’t you understood what’s going on here yet? Don’t you remember that there were twelve baskets of leftovers when five buns were used to feed 5,000 families? 10[ref]And then seven baskets of leftovers when seven buns were used to feed 4,000 families? 11How can you fail to understand that I wasn’t talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast from the Pharisees and Sadducees.

12Then they understood that he wasn’t talking about yeast that’s used to make bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisee party and of the Sadducee sect.


8:14 The apprentices miss the significance of what’s happening

(Mat. 16:5-12)

14But Yeshua’s apprentices forgot to take any food other than one bun that someone in the boat had. 15[ref]He told them, “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and of King Herod.

16They asked each other what it meant—was it because they forgot food?

17But Yeshua knew what they were saying and asked, “Why are you all discussing about not having food? Can’t you figure it out? Or are your minds completely closed? 18[ref]You all have eyes but can’t seem to see and have ears but can’t seem to listen. Have you already forgotten what just happened? 19When I broke up the five buns to feed five thousand people, how many basketfuls of leftovers did you collect?

Twelve,” they answered.

20“And when we fed four thousand with seven buns, how many full baskets of leftovers then?”

Seven,” they answered.

21Yeshua asked, “How can you all not understand what’s going on right in front of you!
