Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. a And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit."
15
But Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16
Then he said, "Are you also still without understanding?
17

18
But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles.
