Mark 7:14-23

14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him."

15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.

18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,

18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?

19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

20 And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him.

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.

21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.

22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."

23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
