Then he called the crowd to him and said to them, \u2018Listen and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.\u2019 Then the disciples approached and said to him, \u2018Do you know that the Pharisees took offence when they heard what you said?\u2019 He answered, \u2018Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.\u2019 But Peter said to him, \u2018Explain this parable to us.\u2019 Then he said, \u2018Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
