- 14 And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: “Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
- 15 There 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.
- 17 And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
- 18 And 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?
- 19 For 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.
- 21 For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
- 22 thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
- 23 All these evils proceed from within and pollute a man.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
