Mark Chapter: 7 Verses: 14-23
It is what comes out of a person that makes them unclean

Jesus called the people to him and said, ‘Listen to me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that goes into a person from outside can make them unclean; it is the things that come out of a person that make them unclean. If anyone has ears to hear let them hear this.’

When he had gone back into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable. He said to them, ‘Do you not understand either? Can you not see that whatever goes into a person from the outside cannot make them unclean, because it does not go into their heart but through their stomach and passes out into the sewer.’ (Thus he pronounced all foods clean). And he went on, ‘It is what comes out of a person that makes them unclean. For it is from within, from the heart of a person, that evil intentions emerge: theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord
