And he called the multi-
tude, and said unto them, Hear,
and understand:
Not that which goeth into
the mouth defileth a man; but
that which cometh out of the
mouth, this defileth a man.
Then came his disciples,
and said unto him, Knowest
thou that the Pharisees were
offended, after they heard this
saying?
But he answered and said,
Every plant, which my hea-
venly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up.
Let them alone: they be
blind leaders of the blind. And
if the blind lead the blind, both
shall fall into the ditch.
—Matthew 15:10-14
