MATTHEW 15:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”
He answered: every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. The plant metaphor for the Pharisees' tradition: every teaching (plant) that does not have the Father as its source will be uprooted. The agricultural imagery mirrors the parable of the weeds (Matthew 13:24–30): the plants that are not the Father's planting will be removed at the harvest.
