Matthew 15:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Jesus replied, ‘I am surprised that you still do not understand what I am saying. ¹⁷ You should understand that food first goes into people's mouths. Then it goes into their stomach, and then it passes out of their body. ¹⁸ The words that people speak come from their thoughts. It is what comes out of their mouths that makes them unclean.
