SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:13
Pero respondiendo l, dijo: Toda planta que no plant mi Padre celestial, ser desarraigada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:13
Verse 13. Every plant] Every plantation. So I render futeia, and so it is translated in the Itala version which accompanies the Greek text in the Codex Bezae, omnis plantatio, and so the word is rendered by Suidas. This gives a different turn to the text. The Pharisees, as a religious body, were now a plantation of trees, which God did not plant, water, nor own: therefore, they should be rooted up, not left to wither and die, but the fellers, and those who root up, (the Roman armies,) should come against and destroy them, and the Christian Church was to be planted in their place. Since the general dispersion of the Jews, this sect, I believe, has ceased to exist as a separate body, among the descendants of Jacob. The first of the apostolical constitutions begins thus: qeou futeia h kaqolikh ekklhsia, kai ampelwn autou eklektov. The Catholic Church is the plantation of God, and his chosen vineyard.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. But he answered, and said , etc.] As being unconcerned at their rage, and having nothing to fear from them; and being well satisfied, that what he had said was right, and would produce proper effects, he gave his disciples this for answer: every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up ; which may be understood either of things, or of persons: it may have regard to doctrines and ordinances; and the meaning be, that whatever doctrine is not delivered by God, or whatever ordinance is not instituted by him; whatever is not of heaven, but of man, of mans devising, and of human imposition, as the traditions of the elders, must be opposed and rejected; and sooner or later will be utterly rooted up, and destroyed; as will all the false notions, corrupt worship, and errors, and heresies of men, in Gods own time: or it may respect persons. There are some plants, which are planted by Christs Father, which is in heaven; these are the elect of God, who are trees of righteousness; the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. These are planted by the river of Gods love, in the person of Christ, in the likeness of his death and resurrection; they are transplanted out of a state of nature, are ingrafted into Christ, have the graces of the Spirit implanted in their souls, and are themselves planted in the courts of the Lord, in a Gospel church state; and being watered with the dews of grace, appear to be choice plants, plants of renown, pleasant ones, very fruitful, and which shall never perish, or be rooted, and plucked up, but there are others, like these Pharisees, hypocrites, formal professors, and heretics, who pretend to much religion and holiness, make a show of the leaves of profession, but have not the fruit of grace; these get into churches, and are outwardly and ministerially planted there; but being never rooted in Christ, nor partake of his grace, in time they wither, and die away; or persecution arising because of the Word, or truth being dispensed in so clear and glaring a light, that they cannot bear it; they are offended with it, and so are detected, discovered, and rooted up and it is necessary that truth should be freely spoken, as it was here by Christ, that such plants might be rooted out; for these words are said by Christ in justification of his conduct. So the Jews speak of God, as a planter, and of rooting up what he does not like. The holy, blessed God (say they f898 ), plants trees in this world; if they prosper, it is well; if they do not prosper, wl rq[a , he roots them up, and plants them even many times. And elsewhere it is said f899 , let the master of the vineyard come, and consume its thorns: the gloss on it is, the holy, blessed God; for the vineyard of the Lord of hosts, is the house of Israel, and he will consume, and take away the thorns of the vineyard.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-20 - Christ shows that the defilement they ought to fear, was not from what entered their mouths as food, but from what came out of their mouths which showed the wickedness of their hearts. Nothing will last in the soul but the regenerating graces of the Holy Spirit; and nothing shoul be admitted into the church but what is from above; therefore, whoeve is offended by a plain, seasonable declaration of the truth, we shoul not be troubled at it. The disciples ask to be better taught as to thi matter. Where a weak head doubts concerning any word of Christ, a upright heart and a willing mind seek for instruction. It is the hear that is desperately wicked, Jer 17:9, for there is no sin in word of deed, which was not first in the heart. They all come out of the man and are fruits of that wickedness which is in the heart, and is wrough there. When Christ teaches, he will show men the deceitfulness an wickedness of their own hearts; he will teach them to humbl themselves, and to seek to be cleansed in the Fountain opened for sin and uncleanness.
