Mark 8:16
"He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”"
Key Reflection
This warning to beware of the "yeast" of the Pharisees and Herod symbolizes the need to guard against false teachings and worldly influences that can corrupt one's spiritual purity and faith, as both groups represented religious and political power seeking to undermine Jesus' message of truth and liberation.
