16. Jesus said to them, “You are still no more intelligent than the others.
17. Don't you understand? Anything that goes into a person's mouth goes into his stomach and then on out of his body.
18. But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these are the things that make a person ritually unclean.
19. For from his heart come the evil ideas which lead him to kill, commit adultery, and do other immoral things; to rob, lie, and slander others.
20. These are the things that make a person unclean. But to eat without washing your hands as they say you should — this doesn't make a person unclean.”
21. Jesus left that place and went off to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon.
