But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. And calling the multitude to Him, He said to them, Hear and understand: That if which cometh into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which cometh out from the mouth, that defiles the man. Then His disciples having come to Him say, Do you not know that the Pharisees hearing your word, were offended? And He responding said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: the blind are leaders of the blind: if the blind may lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch. Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable. And Jesus said, Are you indeed still without understanding? Do you know that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into excrement? But those things going out from the mouth come forth from the heart; and these pollute the man. For out of the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, fornications, adulteries, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies. These are the things which defile the man: but to eat bread with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
