But he answered and said,
Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
All Commentaries on Matthew 15:13 Go To Matthew 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What then says Christ? He did not remove the offense in respect of them, but reproved them, saying, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Matthew 15:13 For He is wont both to despise offenses, and not to despise them. Elsewhere, for example, He says, But lest we should offend them, cast an hook into the sea: Matthew 17:27 but here He says, Let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
