Mark 7:17-23

Thomson(i) 17 And when he withdrew from the multitude into a house, his disciples asked him concerning this parable. 18 Whereupon he saith to them, Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing which entereth into a man from without can defile him; 19 because it doth not enter into the heart; but into the belly, and the of scouring of all meats passeth out into the sink? 20 But, said he, it is that which cometh out of a man, which defileth him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, proceed those evil surmises, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, inordinate desires, malice, fraud, sensuality, envy, detraction, pride, foolishness. 23 All these are the evil things which come from within, and defile the man.
