Matius 7:15

A Tree and Its Fruit

7:15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. ¹ 

Matius 16:6

16:6 “Watch out,” Jesus said to them, “beware of the yeast of the Pharisees ²  and Sadducees.” ³ 

[7:15]  ¹ sn Sheep’s clothing…voracious wolves. Jesus uses a metaphor here to point out that these false prophets appear to be one thing, but in reality they are something quite different and dangerous.

[16:6]  ² sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[16:6]  ³ sn See the note on Sadducees in 3:7.
