9 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS 1DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' "
10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand.
11 "2It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."
12 Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"
13 But He answered and said, "3Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.
14 "Let them alone; 4they are blind guides of the blind. And 5if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

The Heart of Man

15 Peter said to Him, "6Explain 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 7the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.
19 "8For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.
