Perceaue ye not yet, yt euery thinge which is without, and goeth in to the ma, can not defyle him? ¹⁹ For it entreth not in to his hert, but in to ye bely, and goeth out in to the draught, that purgeth all meates. ²⁰ And he sayde: The thinge that goeth out of the man, ²¹ that defyleth the man.

And they prayed him, that he wolde laye his hande vpon him. ³³ And he toke him a syde from the people, and put his fyngers in his eares, and dyd spyt, and touched his tonge, ³⁴ and loked vp vnto heauen, sighed, and sayde vnto him: Ephatha, that is, be opened. ³⁵ And immediatly his eares were opened, and the bonde of his toge was lowsed, and he spake right. ³⁶ And he charged them, that they shulde tell noman.But the more he forbad them, the more they published it, ³⁷ & marueyled out of measure, and sayde: He hath done all thinges well.
