Mateo 16:5

La levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos

5 Cruzaron el lago, pero a los discípulos se les había olvidado llevar pan.

Mateo 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:5

When his disciples were come to the other side
Of the sea, as Munster's Hebrew Gospel adds, to Bethsaida, ( Mark 8:22 ) as they were either in the ship, or going from the shore to the said place, they recollected themselves,

that they had forgotten to take bread:
having but one loaf, as Mark says, in the ship; the seven baskets of fragments being either expended, or given away to the poor, of their own accord, or by Christ's orders. It seems, it was usual with the disciples to buy food at places most proper, and carry with them; since Christ often went into deserts and mountainous places, where provisions could not be had. This their forgetfulness to act according to their wonted method, might arise either from their being intent upon Christ's conversation with the Pharisees, and Sadducees, or from the suddenness of Christ's departure.

Mateo 16:5 In-Context

3 y por la mañana, que habrá tempestad porque el cielo está nublado y amenazante. Ustedes saben discernir el aspecto del cielo, pero no las señales de los tiempos.

4 Esta generación malvada y adúltera busca una señal milagrosa, pero no se le dará más señal que la de Jonás». Entonces Jesús los dejó y se fue.

5 Cruzaron el lago, pero a los discípulos se les había olvidado llevar pan.

6 —Tengan cuidado —les advirtió Jesús—; eviten la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos.

7 Ellos comentaban entre sí: «Lo dice porque no trajimos pan».
