In context
17 And when hee came into an house, away from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he sayde vnto them, What? are ye without vnderstanding also? Doe ye not knowe that whatsoeuer thing from without entreth into a man, cannot defile him,
19 Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught which is the purging of all meates?
20 Then he sayd, That which commeth out of man, that defileth man.
21 For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceede euill thoughtes, adulteries, fornications, murthers,
22 Theftes, couetousnes, wickednes, deceite, vncleannes, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishnesse.
23 All these euill things come from within, and defile a man.
