18 And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him? 19 Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the sink, cleansing all food. 20 And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders, 22 thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety. 23 All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.
