Mark 7:22 In-Context

20 But he said, The things that go out of a man, those defoul a man.
21 For from within, of the heart of men come forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, manslayings,
22 thefts, avarices [covetousness, or over-hard keeping of goods], wickednesses, guile, unchastity, [an] evil eye, blasphemies [blasphemy], pride, folly.
23 All these evils come forth from within, and defoul a man,
24 And Jesus rose up from thence, and went into the coasts [the ends] of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into an house, and would that no man knew [And he gone into an house, would that no man know]; and he might not be hid.
