Spongy brakes

Spongy brakes
At some point recently I've developed spongy brakes. (My wife has been driving the Max lately.) Every 6 or 8 times, the pedal will sink almost to the floor, then pumps back up. I haven't done anything on the brake system recently, and the pads are all fine. I regreased the slide pins (on the fronts, anyway) a week ago. I just bled all four wheels, and the problem is still there.
I don't see any leaks at the wheels. I haven't been losing fluid at all, and when I'm stopped with my foot on the brake the pedal stays firm, which has always been my test for a bad master cylinder. But I'm not sure what else it could be if it's not the master cylinder.
Any suggestions?

Check the master cylinder for leaks,than bleed the calipers I am sure they were not bleed right or bleed enough.the master cylinder brake hose are secure not broken or loose. The vacuum brake hose.
