Jesus Reveals What Defiles a Man

And Jesus called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: it is not that which goes into the mouth that defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man. Then came His disciples, and said unto Jesus, do you know that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying? But Jesus answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Then Peter said unto Jesus, Declare unto us this parable. And Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man. Matthew 15 vs10-21
