Mark 7:18

17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
