Can’t you see that nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean,19because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach and passes into the sewer?’ (Thus he pronounced all foods clean.)20And he went on, ‘It is what comes out of someone that makes that person unclean.21For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder,22adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly.23All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.’ The New Jerusalem Bible: Reader’s Edition, (New York: Doubleday.) 1990. |
