Ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.

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? But having answered, he said, Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant, will be uprooted. Leave them. 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. And Jesus said, Are ye also still without understanding? Do ye not yet understand, that everything entering into the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into a toilet? But the things coming out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things defile the man. 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.
