“In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
In the meantime, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples: Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy — the warning repeats 11:39 in a new key, shifting from exposé to protective instruction. The disciples who have just heard Jesus demolish the Pharisees' external piety are now warned against the same internal corruption taking root in themselves.
