New Testament

Matthew 15:12-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. Then the disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were displeased and offended and indignant when they heard this saying?

13. He answered, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be torn up by the roots. [Isa. 60:21.]

14. Let them alone and disregard them; they are blind guides and teachers. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.

15. But Peter said to Him, Explain this proverb (this maxim) to us.

16. And He said, Are you also even yet dull and ignorant [without understanding and unable to put things together]?

17. Do you not see and understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the abdomen and so passes on into the place where discharges are deposited?
