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.
