Matthew 16:6-16

6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and ¹beware of the leaven of the ²Pharisees 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, "³You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

9 "Do you not yet understand or remember ⁴the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

10 "Or ⁵the 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 ⁶beware of the leaven of the ⁷Pharisees and Sadducees."

12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the ⁸Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 ⁹Now when Jesus came into the district of ¹⁰Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that ¹¹the Son of Man is?"

14 And they said, "Some say ¹²John the Baptist; and others, ¹³Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16 Simon Peter answered, "You are ¹⁴the Christ, ¹⁵the Son of ¹⁶the living God."
