Commentary on Mark 8:15
Theological / DevotionalLeaven of Herod. That is, the evil influence of Herod, particularly his worldliness and vacillating character (see on Matt. 13:33; 16:6). In the parallel passage in Matthew (ch. 16:6) the Sadducees appear in the place of Herod. Inasmuch as the Sadducees consistently courted the favor of the ruling power and were themselves worldly-minded (see p. 52), their chief interests were closely identified with those of Herod, and they interpreted his policies to the Jewish nation. Thus, so far as general meaning and influence are concerned, the terms given in Matthew and Mark are interchangeable.
