Matthew 15:7-14
New American Standard Bible
8‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
9AND IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’?'
10After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, 'Hear and understand!
11It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.'
12Then the disciples came and *said to Him, 'Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?'
13But He answered and said, 'Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14Leave them alone; they are blind guides of blind people. And if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.'
King James Version
Chapter 15
7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
