Matthew 16:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 16:9

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”

8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you¹ have brought no bread?

9 ^aDo you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

10 ^aNor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?

11 How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the¹ leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the¹ doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
