SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:6
Y Jess les dijo: Mirad, y guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:6
Verse 6. Beware of the leaven] What the leaven of Pharisees and Sadducees was has been already explained, see ver. 1. Bad doctrines act in the soul as leaven does in meal; they assimulate the whole Spirit to their own nature. A man's particular creed has a greater influence on his tempers and conduct than most are aware of. Pride, hypocrisy, and worldly-mindedness, which constituted the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, ruin the major part of the world.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Then Jesus said unto them , etc.] Either taking occasion from the disciples observing that they had forgot to take bread with them, or on account of what passed between him and the Pharisees and Sadducees, he gave the following advice to his disciples; take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees . Mark, instead of the leaven of the Sadducees, says, the leaven of Herod; either because Christ might caution against all three; or because the Sadducees were generally Herodians, taking Herod to be the Messiah; or were on his party, or for his government, which the Pharisees disliked; and the Herodians were generally Sadducees. By the leaven of these is meant their doctrine, as appears from ( Matthew 16:12). The doctrines the Pharisees taught were the commandments and inventions of men, the traditions of the elders, free will, and justification by the works of the law: the doctrine of the Sadducees was, that there was no resurrection of the dead, nor angels, nor spirits: now because they sought secretly and artfully to infuse their notions into the minds of men; and which, when imbibed, spread their infection, and made men sour, morose, rigid, and ill natured, and swelled and puffed them up with pride and vanity, Christ compares them to leaven; and advises his disciples to look about them, to watch, and be on their guard, lest they should be infected with them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-12 - Christ speaks of spiritual things under a similitude, and the disciple misunderstand him of carnal things. He took it ill that they shoul think him as thoughtful about bread as they were; that they should be so little acquainted with his way of preaching. Then understood the what he meant. Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
