Matthew 16:8-12
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, ‘You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (NIVUK)

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.
