5 Now Yeshua’s (Jesus’; Grk. Yesus’) apprentices had crossed the lake, but they forgot to take any bread, 6 and Yeshua told them, “Watch out for the yeast from the Farisaios and the Saddoukaios (Sadducees).”[ref]

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

8 But Yeshua knew what they were saying, and asked them, “You people with little faith, why are you talking to each other about not having bread? 9 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?[ref] 10 And then seven baskets of leftovers when seven buns were used to feed 4,000 families?[ref] 11 How can you fail to understand that I wasn’t talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast from the Farisaios and Saddoukaios.

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

14 But Yeshua’s (Jesus’; Grk. Yesus’) apprentices forgot to take any food other than one bun that someone in the boat had. 15 He told them, “Watch out for the yeast of the Farisaios[ref] and of King Herodes (Herod).”

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

17 But 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 You all have eyes but can’t seem to see and have ears but can’t seem to listen.[ref] Have you already forgotten what just happened? 19 When 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.

21 “So how can you all fail to understand what’s going on right in front of you,” Yeshua asked.
