1 In G1722 the mean time, G3739 when there were gathered together G1996 an innumerable multitude G3461 of people, G3793 insomuch that G5620 they trode G2662 one upon another, G240 he began G756 to say G3004 unto G4314 his G846 disciples G3101 first of all, G4412 Beware G4337 ye G1438 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees, G5330 which G3748 is G2076 hypocrisy. G5272
But G1161 the wisdom G4678 that is from above G509 is G2076 first G4412 pure, G3303 G53 then G1899 peaceable, G1516 gentle, G1933 and easy to be intreated, G2138 full G3324 of mercy G1656 and G2532 good G18 fruits, G2590 without partiality, G87 and G2532 without hypocrisy. G505
Wherefore G3767 laying aside G659 all G3956 malice, G2549 and G2532 all G3956 guile, G1388 and G2532 hypocrisies, G5272 and G2532 envies, G5355 and G2532 all G3956 evil speakings, G2636
Purge out G1571 therefore G3767 the old G3820 leaven, G2219 that G2443 ye may be G5600 a new G3501 lump, G5445 as G2531 ye are G2075 unleavened. G106 For G1063 even G2532 Christ G5547 our G2257 passover G3957 is sacrificed G2380 for G5228 us: G2257 Therefore G5620 let us keep the feast, G1858 not G3361 with G1722 old G3820 leaven, G2219 neither G3366 with G1722 the leaven G2219 of malice G2549 and G2532 wickedness; G4189 but G235 with G1722 the unleavened G106 bread of sincerity G1505 and G2532 truth. G225
But G1161 so much the more G3123 went there G1330 a fame G3056 abroad G1330 of G4012 him: G846 and G2532 great G4183 multitudes G3793 came together G4905 to hear, G191 and G2532 to be healed G2323 by G5259 him G846 of G575 their G846 infirmities. G769
For G1063 I delivered G3860 unto you G5213 first of all G1722 G4413 that which G3739 I G3880 also G2532 received, G3880 how G3754 that Christ G5547 died G599 for G5228 our G2257 sins G266 according G2596 to the scriptures; G1124
And G1161 when they heard G191 it, they glorified G1392 the Lord, G2962 and G5037 said G2036 unto him, G846 Thou seest, G2334 brother, G80 how many G4214 thousands G3461 of Jews G2453 there are G1526 which G3588 believe; G4100 and G2532 they are G5225 all G3956 zealous G2207 of the law: G3551
Ye hypocrites, G5273 ye can G1492 discern G1381 the face G4383 of the sky G3772 and G2532 of the earth; G1093 but G1161 how is it G4459 that ye do not G3756 discern G1381 this G5126 time? G2540
Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye are G2075 as G5613 graves G3419 which G3588 appear not, G82 and G2532 the men G444 that walk G4043 over G1883 them are G1492 not G3756 aware G1492 of them.
And G2532 he came down G2597 with G3326 them, G846 and stood G2476 in G1909 the plain, G3977 G5117 and G2532 the company G3793 of his G846 disciples, G3101 and G2532 a great G4183 multitude G4128 of people G2992 out of G575 all G3956 Judaea G2449 and G2532 Jerusalem, G2419 and G2532 from the sea coast G3882 of Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon, G4605 which G3739 came G2064 to hear G191 him, G846 and G2532 to be healed G2390 of G575 their G846 diseases; G3554
And the king H4428 appointed H6485 the lord H7991 on whose hand H3027 he leaned H8172 to have the charge of the gate: H8179 and the people H5971 trode H7429 upon him in the gate, H8179 and he died, H4191 as the man H376 of God H430 had said, H1696 who spake H1696 when the king H4428 came down H3381 to him.
And G1161 it came to pass, G1096 that, as G1722 the people G3793 pressed upon G1945 him G846 to hear G191 the word G3056 of God, G2316 G2532 he G846 stood G2258 G2476 by G3844 the lake G3041 of Gennesaret, G1082
And G2532 he charged G1291 them, G846 saying, G3004 Take heed, G3708 beware G991 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees, G5330 and G2532 of the leaven G2219 of Herod. G2264 And G2532 they reasoned G1260 among G4314 themselves, G240 saying, G3004 It is because G3754 we have G2192 no G3756 bread. G740 And G2532 when Jesus G2424 knew G1097 it, he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Why G5101 reason ye, G1260 because G3754 ye have G2192 no G3756 bread? G740 perceive ye G3539 not yet, G3768 neither G3761 understand? G4920 have ye G2192 your G5216 heart G2588 yet G2089 hardened? G4456 Having G2192 eyes, G3788 see ye G991 not? G3756 and G2532 having G2192 ears, G3775 hear ye G191 not? G3756 and G2532 do ye G3421 not G3756 remember? G3421 When G3753 I brake G2806 the five G4002 loaves G740 among G1519 five thousand, G4000 how many G4214 baskets G2894 full G4134 of fragments G2801 took ye up? G142 They say G3004 unto him, G846 Twelve. G1427 And G1161 when G3753 the seven G2033 among G1519 four thousand, G5070 how many G4214 baskets G4711 full G4138 of fragments G2801 took ye up? G142 And G1161 they said, G2036 Seven. G2033 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 How G4459 is it that ye do G4920 not G3756 understand? G4920
Then G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them, G846 Take heed G3708 and G2532 beware G4337 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees. G4523 And G1161 they reasoned G1260 among G1722 themselves, G1438 saying, G3004 It is because G3754 we have taken G2983 no G3756 bread. G740 Which when G1161 Jesus G2424 perceived, G1097 he said G2036 unto them, G846 O ye of little faith, G3640 why G5101 reason ye G1260 among G1722 yourselves, G1438 because G3754 ye have brought G2983 no G3756 bread? G740 Do ye G3539 not yet G3768 understand, G3539 neither G3761 remember G3421 the five G4002 loaves G740 of the five thousand, G4000 and G2532 how many G4214 baskets G2894 ye took up? G2983 Neither G3761 the seven G2033 loaves G740 of the four thousand, G5070 and G2532 how many G4214 baskets G4711 ye took up? G2983 How G4459 is it that G3754 ye do G3539 not G3756 understand G3539 that I spake G2036 it not G3756 to you G5213 concerning G4012 bread, G740 that ye should beware G4337 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees? G4523 Then G5119 understood they G4920 how that G3754 he bade G2036 them not G3756 beware G4337 of G575 the leaven G2219 of bread, G740 but G235 of G575 the doctrine G1322 of the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees.

Commentary on Luke 12 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 12
In this chapter we have divers excellent discourses of our Saviour's upon various occasions, many of which are to the same purport with what we had in Matthew upon other the like occasions; for we may suppose that our Lord Jesus preached the same doctrines, and pressed the same duties, at several times, in several companies, and that one of the evangelists took them as he delivered them at one time and another at another time; and we need thus to have precept upon precept, line upon line. Here,
Luk 12:1-12
We find here,
But this was not the worst of it: it was likely to be a suffering cause, though never a sinking one: let them therefore arm themselves with courage; and divers arguments are furnished here to steel them with a holy resolution in their work. Consider,
Luk 12:13-21
We have in these verses,
Luk 12:22-40
Our Lord Jesus is here inculcating some needful useful lessons upon his disciples, which he had before taught them, and had occasion afterwards to press upon them; for they need to have precept upon precept, and line upon line: "Therefore, because there are so many that are ruined by covetousness, and an inordinate affection to the wealth of this world, I say unto you, my disciples, take heed of it.' Thou, O man of God, flee these things, as well as thou, O man of the world, 1 Tim. 6:11.
Luk 12:41-53
Here is,
Luk 12:54-59
Having given his disciples their lesson in the foregoing verses, here Christ turns to the people, and gives them theirs, v. 54. He said also to the people: he preached ad populum-to the people, as well as ad clerum-to the clergy. In general, he would have them be as wise in the affairs of their souls as they are in their outward affairs. Two things he specifies:-
