Mat. 15:2 (LIT/UBS4) “Through (dia) [the sake, AE] of what (ti) <do> the (hoi) disciples (mathētai) of you (sou) step aside (parabainousin) of the (tēn) tradition (paradosin) of the (tōn) elders (presbuterōn)?

BUT (alla), the (to) [word, AE] being caused to go out (ekporeuomenon) out (ek) of the (tou) mouth (stomatos), this (touto) makes common (koinoi) the (ton) mortal (anthrōpon)!”

Mat. 15:14 (LIT/UBS4) Let them go (aphete autous)

 

They are (eisin) blind ones (tuphloi), leaders (hodēgoi) of blind ones (tuphlōn).
