Matthew 15:15-20
New International Version
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(A)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(B) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(C) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(D) 20 These are what defile a person;(E) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
Matthew 15:15-20
New King James Version
15 (A)Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, (B)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that (C)whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But (D)those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 (E)For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
