Marcos 8:15

15 Tengan cuidado —les advirtió Jesús—; ¡ojo con la levadura de los fariseos y con la de Herodes!

Marcos 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:15

And he charged them
When they were in the ship, and had just recollected themselves, that they had took no care to bring any provisions with them:

saying, take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees; and of the
leaven of Herod:
in Matthew, instead of "the leaven of Herod", it is read, "the leaven of the Sadducees": which are either the same, Herod and his courtiers being Sadducees, or favourers of them; or the Sadducees being sticklers for Herod, and his government, which the Pharisees had no good opinion of; or else distinct from one another; and so Christ cautions against the doctrines of the Pharisees, which regarded the traditions of the elders, and of the Sadducees, concerning the resurrection, and of the Herodians, who thought Herod to be the Messiah; and against the unreasonable request and demand of them all to have a sign from heaven, in proof of his own Messiahship; (See Gill on Matthew 16:6).

Marcos 8:15 In-Context

13 Entonces los dejó, volvió a embarcarse y cruzó al otro lado.

14 A los discípulos se les había olvidado llevar comida, y solo tenían un pan en la barca.

15 Tengan cuidado —les advirtió Jesús—; ¡ojo con la levadura de los fariseos y con la de Herodes!

16 Ellos comentaban entre sí: «Lo dice porque no tenemos pan».

17 Al darse cuenta de esto, Jesús les dijo:—¿Por qué están hablando de que no tienen pan? ¿Todavía no ven ni entienden? ¿Tienen la mente embotada?
