17 When he had entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 He said to them, "Are you so without understanding also? Don`t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can`t defile him,
19 because it doesn`t go into his heart, but into his belly, and into the latrine, thus making all foods clean?"
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 All these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man."
