Mark 8:14-21

Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with them in the boat.

15 And he ordered them, saying, "Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!"

16 And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.

17 And knowing [this], he said to them, "Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?

18 [Although you] have eyes, do you not see? And [although you] have ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

20 "When [I] also [broke] the seven [loaves] for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

21 And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"
