17. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18. And he said unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not understand that anything from outside that enters into the man cannot defile him?

20. For he had said that it is what comes out of the man that defiles the man.
