And Jesus perceiving it, said to them: you of little faith! why are you reasoning among yourselves because you took no bread? Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up? How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then they understood that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

And he left them, and entered the ship again, and departed to the opposite side. And they had forgotten to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship. And he charged them, saying: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. read more.
And they reasoned with one an other, saying: It is because we have no bread. And Jesus perceived it, and said to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread?

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to him: Twelve. When I broke the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They replied: Seven. And he said to them: How is it that you do not understand?
