Context of Matthew 15:10
8‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. 9And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand! 11It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.” 12Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”
