There is nothing from outside the man, entering into him, which is able to defile him. But the things going out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
And He said to them, Are you also so without understanding? Do you not perceive that everything entering from the outside into the man is not able to defile him?
And rising up from there, he went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into the house, He desired no one to know, but He could not be hidden.
Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled.
