Matthew 16:4-14

4 "¹An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah." And He left them and went away.

5 And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and ²beware of the leaven of the ³Pharisees and Sadducees."

7 They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said that because we did not bring any bread."

8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, "⁴You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

9 "Do you not yet understand or remember ⁵the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

10 "Or ⁶the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large baskets full you picked up?

11 "How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But ⁷beware of the leaven of the ⁸Pharisees and Sadducees."

12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the ⁹Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 ¹⁰Now when Jesus came into the district of ¹¹Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that ¹²the Son of Man is?"

14 And they said, "Some say ¹³John the Baptist; and others, ¹⁴Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
