For out of the heart come evil thoughts and plans, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slanders (verbal abuse, irreverent speech, blaspheming). Christian Standard Bible
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile.
They do not have a misunderstanding (John 5:39–40). Jesus is insisting that the Pharisees have spoken evil out of evil hearts. That's how it always works: what's inside one's heart eventually manifests in actions and words (Matthew 12:34). The previous verse ended with that very principle: what's inside overflows and spills out into the world.
Luke 6:45. KJ21. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh. ASV.
Good words cannot come out of evil hearts. The Pharisees words about Jesus and Satan showed to everyone their true, evil selves. This Scripture reveals a blanket principle for all people: our words always eventually reveal what's going on inside of us.
The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart. Christian Standard Bible.
