Matthew 15:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 15:15

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.”

16 So Jesus said, ^a“Are you also still without understanding?

17 Do you not yet understand that ^awhatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

18 But ^athose things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

19 ^aFor out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
