MATTHEW 16:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”
Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The disciples' eventual understanding: the leaven is the teaching. The teaching of the Pharisees (tradition over commandment, outward observance without heart-alignment) and the Sadducees (denial of resurrection, skepticism about spiritual reality) are the pervasive influences that the disciples must guard against.
