"When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?"
When the disciples need to make connections in order to understand things that Jesus said, it is important that they make spiritual connections. Here He has mentioned leaven and their default response has been that it must be reference to physical bread, especially since they have forgotten to bring bread with them. But Jesus is speaking to them of spiritual things. Jesus has put a rebuke in His reminder of the feeding of the five thousand. They ought to have learned how simple it is for Him to handle physical need. And they need to know that the teaching of the Pharisees is sneaky and dangerous. Think spiritually. Understand the meaning behind what you hear with your ears. Lord, help us to think spiritually as we listen to Jesus.
