Yes and when read in context one can determine which is which.

The problem is many don’t and come up with confusing and false explanations.

That is why it can be helpful to understand the teachings of Jesus through His Catholic Church.

Christ needs NO filtration system. He was plain spoken and stated emphatically that HE, before any jot or tittle of the 'NEW' was ever put to plant fibers or animal skins, has foretold all things. Mark 13:23... The 'church' was never intended to be the object of worship. The traditions of man make Christ's teachings null and void. There is an error in the Roman program.

Do you get thirsty or hungry?

Do you have a literal living well springing up inside you?

The roman catholic is the one who takes the plain reading of the text and reads something into it that's not there.

We see examples of this eisegesis practiced by rome with the Eucharist, the Mass, the worship of Mary, the indulgences, purgatory, etc.

We see it in the Word. We don't see it in the "tradition" of the roman catholic church that has to pick and choose which writings of the ECFs they want to believe.

We can understand the teachings of Christ through His catholic (ekklesia, the body of believers) church. Not what comes from.
