And he called the assembly crowd multitude , and said unto them, Hear, and comprehend discern understand : Not that which goeth into the lips mouth throat defileth a man person individual ; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his disciples students followers , and said unto him, Knowest thou that the elders leaders Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying teaching statement ? But he answered and said, Every tree vine plant , which my heavenly Father hath not grown sown planted , shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be foolish blind ignorant leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the pit ditch hole . Then answered Peter disciple Simon and said unto him, Declare unto us this story parable lesson . And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without wisdom understanding insight ? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the gut belly stomach , and is cast out into the waste draught sewer ? But those things which proceed out of the tongue lips mouth come forth from the mind soul heart ; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts imaginations idea , arguments disaggreements murders , courtship sex adulteries , fornications piety persuation , taking thefts murmuring , false messages statements witness , hypings blasphemies praises : These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen unclean dirty hands defileth not a man.
