Matthew 15:10-20

Murdock(i) 10 And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand. 11 Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech? 13 And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated. 14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch. 15 And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude. 16 And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding? 17 Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation? 18 But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man. 19 For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling. 20 These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.
