Matthew 15:10–20

¹⁰And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.

¹¹Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

¹²Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?

¹³But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

¹⁴Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit.

¹⁵And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.

¹⁶But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?

¹⁷Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?

¹⁸But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.

¹⁹For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

²⁰These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
