Mark 7:14-19

¹⁴After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: ¹⁵there is nothing outside the person which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which come out of the person are what defile the person.”

¹⁷And when He later entered a house, away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him about the parable. ¹⁸And He *said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding as well? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him, ¹⁹because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thereby He declared all foods clean.)

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