16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?

17 ¿No entendéis aún, que todo lo que entra en la boca, va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?

18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.

19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, blasfemias.

20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre: que comer con las manos por lavar no contamina al hombre.
