But Jesus replied, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”

Then He began to teach them, saying,

You brood of vipers, how can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:

“I will open My mouth in parables;
I will utter things [unknown and unattainable] that have been hidden [from mankind] since the foundation of the world.”

It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that defiles and dishonors him, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles and dishonors him.”

Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man.

However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them [to pay the temple tax] for you and Me.”
