6. Jesus then warned them, “Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7. The disciples talked this over and said to each other, “He must be saying this because we didn't bring along any bread.”
8. Jesus knew what they were thinking and said:You don't have much faith! Why are you talking about not having any bread?
9. Don't you understand? Have you forgotten about the five thousand people and all those baskets of leftovers from just five loaves of bread?
10. And what about the four thousand people and all those baskets of leftovers from only seven loaves of bread?
11. Don't you know by now that I am not talking to you about bread? Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!
12. Finally, the disciples understood that Jesus wasn't talking about the yeast used to make bread, but about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13. When Jesus and his disciples were near the town of Caesarea Philippi, he asked them, “What do people say about the Son of Man?”

15. Then Jesus asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
16. Simon Peter spoke up, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
