What Defiles a Man

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

10:

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

11:

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

12:

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

13:

14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

14:

15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

15:

16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

16:

17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

17:

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

18:

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

19:

20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

20:
