Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 15:12-19 New Century Version (NCV)

12. Then his followers came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees are angry because of what you said?”

13. Jesus answered, “Every plant that my Father in heaven has not planted himself will be pulled up by the roots.

14. Stay away from the Pharisees; they are blind leaders. And if a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a ditch.”

15. Peter said, “Explain the example to us.”

16. Jesus said, “Do you still not understand?

17. Surely you know that all the food that enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then goes out of the body.

18. But what people say with their mouths comes from the way they think; these are the things that make people unclean.

19. Out of the mind come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual sins, stealing, lying, and speaking evil of others.
