The disciples had left the bread behind (Matthew 16:7); so when Jesus talked about the 'yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees' (Matthew 16:6) they thought He was criticising their failure. They did not want to be shamed by the Lord (Matthew 14:31) and tried to please Him. However, His holiness was a continual reminder of their sinfulness, giving them an inner urge to do better but also the sinking realisation that they could not meet His standard.
