The Heart of Man

15 Peter said to Him, "1Explain the parable to us."
16 Jesus said, "Are you still lacking in understanding also?
17 "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated *?
18 "But 2the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.
19 "3For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.
