5 The disciples crossed over to the other side of the lake. They had forgotten to take bread.
6
"Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7
The disciples talked about this among themselves. They said, "He must be saying this because we didn't bring any bread."
8
Jesus knew what they were saying. So he said, "Your faith is so small! Why are you talking to each other about having no bread?
9
Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember the five loaves for the 5,000? Don't you remember how many baskets of pieces you gathered?
10
Don't you remember the seven loaves for the 4,000? Don't you remember how many baskets of pieces you gathered?
11
How can you possibly not understand? I wasn't talking to you about bread. But watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12
Then the disciples understood that Jesus was not telling them to watch out for the yeast used in bread. He was warning them against what the Pharisees and Sadducees taught.
