But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”

And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart.

This was so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will proclaim things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person.

However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”

and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”
