Matthew 15:15-20

¹⁵Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

¹⁶“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.

¹⁷“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

¹⁸But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.

¹⁹For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

²⁰These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

— Matthew 15:15-20
