Matthew 15:10–20

¹⁰And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand: ¹¹Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man. ¹²Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended? ¹³But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up. ¹⁴Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch. ¹⁵And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable. ¹⁶But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence? ¹⁷Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught? ¹⁸but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man. ¹⁹For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies; ²⁰these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
