Matthew 15:16
14 Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
17 “Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
