But be ye not designated Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Christ, and ye are all brothers. And do not designate a father of you upon the earth, for one is your Father, he in the heavens.

Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man, but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man. Then having come near, his disciples said to him, Know thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard the saying?

They are blind leaders of blind men, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch. And having answered, Peter said to him, Explain this parable to us.

For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings. These are things defiling the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
