Question
Hello,
I was wondering if you know of a verse somewheres in the New Testament where Jesus said something like, not to divulge or speak too much from your heart because the minds of men are not to be trusted. It was something like that, but I didn't catch the complete verse. I heard some DJ or host say this on a christian radio station but I didn't catch what verse he said it was. I think he said it was in John but I can't remember. Well anyway I hope you know and thanks for your help,
Mark

Answer
I believe this is the verse you refer to:

John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
 
Or it could be:

Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

I pray that this helps. God bless!
