Read Matthew 15:10-20
10 Then
Jesus called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand! 11It
is not what goes into a person’s mouth that makes him ritually unclean; rather,
what comes out of it makes him unclean.”
12 Then
the disciples came to him and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees had their
feelings hurt by what you said?”
13 “Every
plant which my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up,” answered
Jesus. 14“Don’t worry about them! They are blind leaders of the
blind; and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.”
15 Peter
spoke up, “Explain this saying to us.”
16 Jesus
said to them, “You are still no more intelligent than the others. 17Don’t
you understand? Anything that goes into a person’s mouth goes into his stomach and
then on out of his body. 18But the things that come out of the mouth
come from the heart, and these are the things that make a person ritually
unclean. 19For from his heart come the evil ideas which lead him to
kill, commit adultery, and do other immoral things; to rob, lie, and slander
others. 20These are the things that make a person unclean. But to
eat without washing your hands as they say you should—this doesn’t make a
person unclean.”
Think
What comes out of the mouth
proceeds from the heart...
