The Demand for a Miracle
(Mark 8.11-13; Luke 12.54-56)
16
1
16.1: Mat 12.38; Luk 11.16.
Some Pharisees and Sadducees who came to Jesus wanted to trap him, so they asked him to perform a miracle for them, to show that God approved of him. 2 But Jesus answered, “When the sun is setting, you say, ‘We are going to have fine weather, because the sky is red.’ 3 And early in the morning you say, ‘It is going to rain, because the sky is red and dark.’ You can predict the weather by looking at the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs concerning these times!
n 16.3: Some manuscripts do not have the words of Jesus in verses 2-3.
4
16.4: Mat 12.39; Luk 11.29.
How evil and godless are the people of this day! You ask me for a miracle? No! The only miracle you will be given is the miracle of Jonah.”
So he left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
(Mark 8.14-21)
5 When the disciples crossed over to the other side of the lake, they forgot to take any bread. 6
16.6: Luk 12.1.
Jesus said to them, “Take care; be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 They started discussing among themselves, “He says this because we didn't bring any bread.”
8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he asked them, “Why are you discussing among yourselves about not having any bread? What little faith you have! 9
16.9: Mat 14.17-21.
Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand men? How many baskets did you fill? 10
16.10: Mat 15.34-38.
And what about the seven loaves for the four thousand men? How many baskets did you fill? 11 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!”
12 Then the disciples understood that he was not warning them to guard themselves from the yeast used in bread but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
