Living_Oracles(i)
10 Then, having called the multitude, he said to them, Hear, and be instructed.
11 It is not what goes into the mouth pollutes the man; but it is what proceeds out of the mouth, that pollutes the man.
12 On which his disciples accosting him, said, Did you observe how the Pharisees, when they heard that saying were offended?
13 He answered, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be extirpated.
14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
15 Then Peter addressing him, said, Explain to us that parable.
16 Jesus answered, Are you also void of understanding?
17 Do you not apprehend, that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach, and is thrown out into the sink.
18 But that which proceeds out of the mouth, issues from the heart, and so pollutes the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed malicious contrivances, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, calumnies.
20 These are the things which pollute the man; but to eat with unwashed hands pollutes not the man.
