The Pharisees criticize Jesus for not following their traditional hand-washing practices. Jesus responds by saying that it is not what goes into a person’s mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of it. He then goes on to list the various ways that people can sin with their words and actions. Jesus heals a woman’s daughter and a deaf man who has a speech impediment. Later, he feeds a large crowd with just a few loaves of bread and fish.
