11 ^aNot what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”  ‡

12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

13 But He answered and said, ^a“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.  ‡

14 Let them alone. ^aThey are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”  ‡

15 ^aThen Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”  ‡
