But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”

Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

I will open My mouth in parables;
I will declare things kept secret
from the foundation of the world.

It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

“Don’t you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?

But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”
