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