Commandments About Food. Mark 7:14. And again after He summoned the crowd He was saying to them, “You must all listen to Me and understand. 15. There is nothing outside of a person that goes into him that is able to defile him, but the things which go out from a person are the things that defile him.” (Rom. 14:17, 1 John 5:17) 16. If someone has ears to hear he must now listen. 17. And when He entered the house from the crowd, His disciples were asking Him about the parable. 18. And He said to them, “Are you too without understanding? Do you not perceive that everything from the outside, which goes into a person, is not able to defile him 19. because it is not going into his heart but into his stomach, after the stomach cleanses all the food, then it goes out into the latrine?” 20. And He was saying, “That going out from a person defiles him. 21. For the evil purposes within go out from the hearts of people, immoralities, stealing, murder, 22. adultery, covetousness, evil, deceit, sensuality, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23. all these evils within go out and defile the person.”
