Food and Speach

>From the 15th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew:

 

Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and

understand. What goes into a man's mouth does not make

him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that

is what makes him 'unclean.' "

Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know

that the Pharisees were offended when they heard

this?"

He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has

not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave

them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a

blind man, both will fall into a pit."

Peter said, "Explain the parable to us."

"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. "Don't you

see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the

stomach and then out of the body? But the things that

come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these

make a man 'unclean.' "
