How is it that you do not understand?
All Commentaries on Mark 8:21 Go To Mark 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Vict. Ant. e Cat. in Marc. Matthew says, “of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees;” Luke, however, of the Pharisees only. All three, therefore, name the Pharisees, as being the most important of them, but Matthew and Mark have each mentioned one of the secondary sects; and fitly has Mark added “of Herod,” as a supplement to Matthew's narrative, in which they were left out. But in saying this, He by degrees brings the disciples to understanding and faith.
