‏ Matthew 16:5-12

Summary for Matt 16:9-10: 16:9-10  a Jesus had demonstrated to his disciples that he is the true bread of life (15:32-39  b; John 6:35  c, 48  d), whereas the Jewish leaders, particularly in their teachings, were like yeast in permeating everything they touched with their sinfulness (see study note on Matt 16:11-12).
Summary for Matt 16:11-12: 16:11-12  e Yeast is often a symbol of sin and evil (see Exod 12:8  f, 15  g; Lev 6:16-17  h; Gal 5:9  i); here it indicates the permeating nature of the deceptive teaching.
