THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Mark (Author John Mark)

7:14And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

7:15There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

7:16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

7:17And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

7:18And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

7:19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

7:20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

7:21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

7:22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

7:23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
