13. But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, they shall both fall into the ditch.
13, 14. Their Opinions and Traditions, and their Sect in making a Religion of these, are not of God, but of their own invention, and therefore God will root them up. God will not bless Humane Religions. Let them alone a while; their judgment is near. They and their Disciples as blind Leaders and followers, will fall into the ditch of temporal and eternal perdition.
15. Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable. 16. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17. Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever cometh in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught. 18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile a man.
15, &c. Meat that passeth through a man cannot defile his Soul: but it is the products of a sinful heart that defile it.
