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 16If 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.
