Context of Matthew 15:16
14Leave them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” 15Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.” “Are you also still lacking understanding?” Yeshua said. 17“Don’t you grasp that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and then is ejected into the sewer? 18But the things that proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things make the man unholy.
