This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
13. πᾶσα φυτεία. Not a wild flower, but a cultivated plant or tree; the word occurs here only in N.T.; in LXX. version of O.T. it is used of the vine, the most carefully cultivated of all plants; 2Ki 19:29; Eze 17:7; Mic 1:6; Aq. and Symm. have δένδρων φυτείαν in Gen 21:33, of the tamarisk. Here the plant cultivated by human hands—the vine that is not the true vine of Israel—is the doctrine of the Pharisees.
