Mark 7:18 in Context — Mark 7

16 Si quelqu’un a des oreilles pour entendre, qu’il entende.

17 Lorsqu’il fut entré dans la maison, loin de la foule, ses disciples l’interrogèrent sur cette parabole.

18 Il leur dit: Vous aussi, êtes-vous donc sans intelligence? Ne comprenez-vous pas que rien de ce qui du dehors entre dans l’homme ne peut le souiller?

19 Car cela n’entre pas dans son cœur, mais dans son ventre, puis s’en va dans les lieux secrets, qui purifient tous les aliments.

20 Il dit encore: Ce qui sort de l’homme, c’est ce qui souille l’homme.
