11  Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

11  Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

11  A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man.”

17  Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into a latrine?

17  Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

18  But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

18  But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.

20  These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

20  It is these that defile man; but if a man should eat when his hands are unwashed, he will not be defiled.
