He spoke a parable to them.“ Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

“ Woe to you, you blind guides, who say,‘ Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?‘ Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who has been living in it.He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!“ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.

Simon Peter answered him,“ Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.
