15 aThen He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the1 leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? aDo you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart1 still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19 aWhen I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20 “Also, awhen I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
