1611 marginal noteLuke 13.20.

¶ Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heed and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces.

How is it that ye doe not vnderstand, that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces?

Then vnderstood they how that he bade them not beware of the leauen of bread: but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, and of the Sadduces.
