Gospel Mark 7:14-23

• 14And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: “Listen to me, all of you, and understand.

• 15There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which proceed from a man, these are what pollute a man.

• Some verses are not read.

• 17And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.

• 18And he said to them: “So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?

• 19For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods.”

• 20“But,” he said “the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.

• 21For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

• 22thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.

• 23All these evils proceed from within and pollute a man.”
