38. “Pollution Spews From The Heart: – Slander, Murder, Lust, Theft & Lies.” – Jesus
Matthew 15:1
“Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat.” …
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand! 11What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean’, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean’.” …
15 Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 Jesus said, “Are you still so dull?
17 Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean’.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
20 These are what make a man ‘unclean’; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean’.”
