Matthew 16:1–12

¹And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to him, asked him, tempting him, to shew them a sign out of heaven. ²But he answering said to them, When evening is come, ye say, Fine weather, for the sky is red; ³and in the morning, A storm to-day, for the sky is red and lowering; ye know how to discern the face of the sky, but ye cannot the signs of the times. ⁴A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas. And he left them and went away.

⁵And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ⁷And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we have taken no bread. ⁸And Jesus knowing it, said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread? ⁹Do ye not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? ¹⁰nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹¹How do ye not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? ¹²Then they comprehended that he did not speak of being beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
