Then Jesus teaches that what makes man unclean is not what enters his mouth, but what comes out of it, for what comes out of the heart is that contaminates man.

Matthew 15:11: "It is not what comes in through the mouth that contaminates man, but what comes out of the mouth, that is what contaminates man." This verse is a statement of Jesus, showing that what makes a person impure is not what he eats, but what he says and does.
