Introduction
When some Pharisees and Sadducees ask Jesus to perform a miracle, he challenges the legitimacy of their request. He then warns the disciples to guard themselves from the dishonest teachings of these religious leaders.
Today’s Key Scripture: Matthew 16:11
[Jesus said:] “How is it that you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? Guard yourselves from the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
Today’s Reading
Matthew 16:1-12
Reflect
Why did some Pharisees and Sadducees ask Jesus to perform a miracle? How did Jesus respond? The reference to bread in verses 8-11 recalls the earlier two feedings recorded in Matthew 14:13-21 and 15:32-39. Why did Jesus chide the disciples about their faith? What was it that they didn’t understand? What warning did Jesus give his disciples concerning the Pharisees and Sadducees? By employing the metaphor of yeast, Jesus was teaching that the dishonest teachings of these religious leaders was affecting the whole people of Israel the way a little bit of yeast makes a whole batch of dough rise. What “yeast” do we need to watch out for today?
Pray
Lord Jesus, help me to be on guard against false teachings and to discern the truth by listening to your voice and following you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are influenced by false teachings
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 16:13-28: Peter declares Jesus to be the Messiah.
