16 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference
5Καὶ ἐλθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἰς τὸ πέραν ἐπελάθοντο ἀρτους λαβεῖν. In crossing to the other side the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them.The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees Mt.16.5-12 | Mk.8.14-21
6ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁρᾶτε καὶ προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων. So, when Jesus said to them, 'Beware, be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees', 
7οἱ δὲ διελογίζοντο ἐν ἑαυτοῖς λέγοντες ὅτι Ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβομεν. they began to say among themselves, 'It is because we have brought no bread!' 
8γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, Τί διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, ὀλιγόπιστοι, ὅτι ἀρτους οὐκ ἐχετὲ; Knowing what was in their minds, Jesus said to them: 'Why do you talk about bringing no bread? Where is your faith? 
9οὐπω νοεῖτε, οὐδὲ μνημονεύετε τοὺς πέντε ἀρτους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων καὶ πόσους κοφίνους ἐλάβετὲ; Do you not understand even yet? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you picked up? 
10οὐδὲ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἀρτους τῶν τετρακισχιλίων καὶ πόσας σπυρίδας ἐλάβετὲ; Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you picked up? 
11πῶς οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι οὐ περὶ ἀρτων εἶπον ὑμῖν; προσέχετε δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων. How can you fail to see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard, I said, against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.' 
12τότε συνῆκαν ὅτι οὐκ εἶπεν προσέχειν ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν ἀρτων ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ τῆς διδαχῆς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων. Then they understood: they were to be on their guard, not against the baker's leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, but against their teaching.
