Matthew 16

5 Ref And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,

6 Ref and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'

7 Ref and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, `Because we took no loaves.'

8 Ref And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

9 Ref do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?

10 Ref nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

11 Ref how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'

12 Ref Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13 Ref And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be -- the Son of Man?'
