Matthew 15:10-20
Lexham English Bible
Defilement from Within
10 And summoning the crowd, he said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and[a] said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they[b] heard this saying?” 13 And he answered and[c] said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14 Let[d] them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter answered and[e] said to him, “Explain this parable to us.” 16 But he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine? 18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person. 19 For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech. 20 These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”

What Defiles a Person
10 And he called the people to him and said to them, (A)“Hear and understand: 11 (B)it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were (C)offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, (D)“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted (E)will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; (F)they are blind guides.[a] And (G)if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter said to him, (H)“Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, (I)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that (J)whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?[b] 18 But (K)what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come (L)evil thoughts, (M)murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, (N)slander. 20 (O)These are what defile a person. But (P)to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
