Don't you know by now that I am not talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!
Jesus then warned them, “Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Why can't you understand what I am talking about? Can't you stand to hear what I am saying?
Are you trying to fool someone? You can predict the weather by looking at the earth and sky, but you don't really know what's going on right now.
“Don't you know what I am talking about by now?” Jesus asked.
Jesus asked his disciples, “Why were you afraid? Don't you have any faith?”
Many Pharisees and Sadducees also came to be baptized. But John said to them: You bunch of snakes! Who warned you to run from the coming judgment?
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tried to test him by asking for a sign from heaven.
Finally, the disciples understood that Jesus wasn't talking about the yeast used to make bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Jesus warned them, “Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
As thousands of people crowded around Jesus and were stepping on each other, he told his disciples: Be sure to guard against the dishonest teaching of the Pharisees! It is their way of fooling people.
