"hearken to me all of you" changed to "hearken to me, all of you"
Original Paragraph:
P1712:5, 153:3.5
Jesus then directed his remarks to all present. He said: "But hearken
to me all of you. It is not that which enters into the mouth that spiritually
defiles the man, but rather that which proceeds out of the mouth and from the
heart." But even the apostles failed fully to grasp the meaning of his words,
for Simon Peter also asked him: "Lest some of your hearers be unnecessarily
offended, would you explain to us the meaning of these words?" And then said
Jesus to Peter: "Are you also hard of understanding? Know you not that every
plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up? Turn now
your attention to those who would know the truth. You cannot compel men to love
the truth. Many of these teachers are blind guides. And you know that, if the
blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the pit. But hearken while I tell
you the truth concerning those things which morally defile and spiritually contaminate
men. I declare it is not that which enters the body by the mouth or gains access
to the mind through the eyes and ears, that defiles the man. Man is only defiled
by that evil which may originate within the heart, and which finds expression
in the words and deeds of such unholy persons. Do you not know it is from the
heart that there come forth evil thoughts, wicked projects of murder, theft,
and adulteries, together with jealousy, pride, anger, revenge, railings, and
false witness? And it is just such things that defile men, and not that they
eat bread with ceremonially unclean hands."
