Matthew 15:15–16

³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

²⁹His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

³⁴But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

¹⁷And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

⁹Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

¹⁸And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

³²But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

¹⁰¶ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

¹²For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

⁹¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

¹⁰For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

³⁴And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

⁴⁵Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

⁵²For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

¹⁷And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

⁵¹Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

¹¹How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
