Matthew 16:5-12

5And when the disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7And they were discussing among themselves, saying, “We did not take bread.” 8But Jesus, knowing it, said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves, you of little faith, that you did not take bread? 9Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? 11How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Mark 8:14-21

14And they had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have with them in the boat more than one loaf. 15And he was warning them, saying, “Watch out, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” 16And they were discussing with one another that they had no bread. 17And knowing this, he says to them, “Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Do you have your heart hardened? 18Having eyes, do you not see, and having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember, 19when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They say to him, “Twelve.” 20“And when the seven for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” And they say to him, “Seven.” 21And he was saying to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

Luke 12:1

1Meanwhile, when the crowd had gathered by the thousands, so that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware for yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
