Matthew 15:15-20

15Then Peter said, “Explain this parable to us.”

16“Do you still lack understanding?” he asked.

17“Don’t you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?

18But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a person.

19For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slander.

20These are the things that defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
