Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 8:15

_ _ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees — “and of the Sadducees” (Matthew 16:6).

_ _ and of the leaven of Herod — The teaching or “doctrine” (Matthew 16:12) of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees was quite different, but both were equally pernicious; and the Herodians, though rather a political party, were equally envenomed against our Lord’s spiritual teaching. See on Matthew 12:14. The penetrating and diffusive quality of leaven, for good or bad, is the ground of the comparison.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Mark 8:10-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Mark 8:15

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod, or of the Sadducees; two opposite extremes.
