Mark 8:14-21
Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread." And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve." "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven." And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

Pagkatapos pagpakaon ni Jesus sa panon nan mga tawo, ini na ‘sab an isa ka sitwasyon na nangabiro na ‘sab an mga disipulo kay waya na’y ila probisyon sanan pagkaon samtang nagatabok sila sa Sea of Galilee.
Tayming ‘sab an sitwasyon para kapasidan’an ni Jesus an Ija mga disipulo nan mahitungod sa lebadora nan mga Pharisee sanan ni Herod.
An lebadora o pampaalsa sa harena para sa mga Jew, isa ka simbolo nan evil o kasay’anan ugsa na tagpasidan’an sila ni Jesus para dili sila ka-impluwensiyahan nan mga kasay’anan nan mga Pharisee sanan ni Herod.
Madali ra karajaw an tawo malumos nan mga problema sanan mga panginahang’lan kada adlaw ugsa na hikalim’tan na usahay nija an pinaka-importante na kamatuoran nan tanan, na si God, permanente an Ija presensiya sa ato mga kinabuhi sanan an Ija waya’y katapusan na probisyon, madali ra nato pangajuon Dija.

"Lord Jesus, you alone can sustain me with your life-giving Word and Spirit. Give me joy and strength to serve you always and help me to turn away from the leaven of sin and worldliness which brings corruption and death."
