recounts a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees, where they criticize His disciples for not following traditional hand-washing rituals. Jesus responds by teaching that true defilement comes from the heart, not external practices, emphasizing that evil thoughts and actions are what truly make someone unclean.
As Christians, this passage encourages us to focus on inner purity and spiritual integrity rather than merely following external rituals, reminding us that our hearts and motives are what matter most to God.
