Study Note

'Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy' — Jesus's warning about the Pharisees' yeast uses the image of a substance that invisibly permeates and transforms the whole lump, suggesting that hypocrisy is not a surface vice but an agent of systemic corruption affecting an entire community or movement. The contextual trigger is the enormous crowd ('innumerable multitude') pressing around Jesus, creating the conditions where performance-religion rather than genuine devotion becomes tempting. The following promise — 'there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed' (verse 2) — grounds the anti-hypocrisy warning in eschatology: public performance will eventually be exposed by divine disclosure.
