Matthew 15:12-17

New King James Version

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. ^(B)They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

^15 (C)Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

¹⁶ So Jesus said, ^(D)“Are you also still without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not yet understand that ^(E)whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
