Berean Standard Bible
“Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.””
The Pharisees and scribes challenge Jesus because his disciples eat without the ritual washing of hands. Jesus responds by contrasting human tradition with God's commandments and then teaches the crowd a principle about defilement.
