15 Peter said, "Explain this to us."
16 "Don't you understand yet?" Jesus asked them.
17 "Don't you see? Everything that enters the mouth goes into the stomach. Then it goes out of the body.
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart. Those are the things that make you 'unclean.'
19 Evil thoughts come out of the heart. So do murder, adultery, and other sexual sins. And so do stealing, false witness, and telling lies about others.
20 Those are the things that make you 'unclean.' But eating without washing your hands does not make you 'unclean.' "
21 Jesus left Galilee and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon.
