12Later his disciples came and told him, “Did you know how upset the Pharisees were when they heard what you said?”

13–14Jesus shrugged it off. “Every tree that wasn’t planted by my Father in heaven will be pulled up by its roots. Forget them. They are blind men leading blind men. When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch.”
