10. And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: "Listen and understand.
11. A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man."
12. Then his disciples drew near and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?"
13. But in response he said: "Every plant which has not been planted by my heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
14. Leave them alone. They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if the blind are in charge of the blind, both will fall into the pit."
15. And responding, Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16. But he said: "Are you, even now, without understanding?
17. Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the gut, and is cast into the sewer?
18. But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.
19. For from the heart go out evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20. These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man."
21. And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
