What Defiles a Man

What Defiles a Man

(Matthew 15:10–20)


14Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand: 15Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”[fn]


17After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.


18“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, 19because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)[fn]


20He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. 21For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,[fn] 22greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. 23All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”


7:15 BYZ and TR include 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

7:19 Or and then is eliminated, thereby expelling all foods.”

7:21 Many texts move adultery to verse 22.
