Sermons citing Mark 7:14–23

^7:16 This verse number has no text in the BSB edition.

^7:17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

^7:18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

^7:19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

^7:20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

^7:21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

^7:22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

^7:23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
