In Matthew 15:10-20, Jesus teaches the crowd that what defiles a person is not what enters the mouth but what comes out of it, as words and actions reflect the heart. When the disciples mention the Pharisees were offended, Jesus dismisses them as blind guides. Peter asks for clarification, and Jesus explains that evil thoughts, words, and deeds—like slander, theft, and adultery—come from the heart and defile a person, not unwashed hands.
