O vipers' brood, how can you speak what is good when you are evil? For it is from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks.

in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."

It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth--*that* defiles a man."

Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?

But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.

"However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."
