Matthew 15:12

10 Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

11 A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”

Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13 But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.

14 Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
