AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 16:11 "How is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." |
Bible Question: Why did Jesus warn His disciples to be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees? What was their "yeast"? |
Bible Answer: The yeast is the false teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees that concentrated on the outward appearance but ignored the inner life. The stressed tradition ablve God's word as well as hypocracy and unbelief. Jesus was warning the disciples that their own spiritual life could be affected by the corrupting yeast all around them. It helps to better understand it if you think of baking a loaf of bread and how the yeast gets worked through the bread until none of the dough is left untouched. |
