5 The disciples came from the other side of the sea. They did not think to obtain bread.

6 Jesus said: »Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.«

7 They reasoned among themselves, saying: »We took no bread.«

8 Hearing this, Jesus said: »You of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves about not having bread?

9 »Do you still not see or remember the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

10 »Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

11 »Why do you not understand I was not talking about bread? Instead, about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?«

12 Then they realized it was not the leaven of bread he had in mind. It was the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
