And you do many things like that." 14 Then He called the crowd to Him and said, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that can defile him by going into him, but the things that come out of him are what defile him. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." 17 When He went into the house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him about the parable. 18 And He said to them, "Are you also without understanding? Do you not realize that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him? 19 For it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and then it goes out into the latrine." (In saying this, He declared all foods clean.) 20 And He continued, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the human heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders, 22 adulteries, greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. 23 All these evils come from within and defile a person.
