Matthew 15:10–20

¹⁰And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: ^11knot that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. ¹²Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? ¹³But he answered and said, ^lEvery plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. ¹⁴Let them alone: ^mthey be blind leaders of the blind. And ⁿif the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. ¹⁵Then answered ^oPeter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. ¹⁶And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? ^17pDo not ye yet understand, that ^qwhatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? ¹⁸But ^rthose things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile ^sthe man. ¹⁹For ^tout of the heart proceed ^uevil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: ²⁰these are the things which defile a man: but to eat ^xwith unwashen hands defileth not a man.
