Mark 7:14-23
Wycliffe Bible
14 And he again called the people, and said to them, Ye all hear me, and understand.
15 Nothing that is without a man, that entereth into him, may defoul him [Nothing without man is entering into him, that may defoul him]; but those things that come forth of a man, those it be that defoul a man.
16 If any man have ears of hearing [Forsooth if any man have ears to hear], hear he.
17 And when he was entered into an house, from the people, his disciples asked him the parable.
18 And he said to them [And he saith to them], [So] Ye be unwise also. Understand ye not, that all thing withoutforth that entereth into a man, may not defoul him?
19 for it hath not entered into his heart, but into the womb, and beneath it goeth out, purging all meats.
20 But he said, The things that go out of a man, those defoul a man.
21 For from within, of the heart of men come forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, manslayings,
22 thefts, avarices [covetousness, or over-hard keeping of goods], wickednesses, guile, unchastity, [an] evil eye, blasphemies [blasphemy], pride, folly.

Mark 7:14-23
New Matthew Bible
14 And he called all the people to him and said to them, Hearken unto me, every one of you, and understand. 15 There is nothing outside a man that can defile him when it enters into him. But those things that proceed out of him are the things that defile a man. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he went indoors, away from the people, his disciples asked him about the similitude. 18 And he said to them, Are you also without understanding? Do you not yet perceive that whatever thing from without enters into a person, it cannot defile him, 19 because it enters not into his heart, but into the stomach, and goes out into the drain that carries away all foods?
20 And he said, What defiles a man is that which comes out of a man. 21 For from within, namely out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts: adultery, fornication, murder, 22 theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, a wicked eye, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a person.

1599 Geneva Bible
14 (A)Then he calleth the whole multitude unto him, and said unto them, Hearken you all unto me, and understand.
15 There is nothing without a man, that can defile him, when it entereth into him: but the things which proceed out of him, are they which defile the man.
16 If any have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he came into an house, away from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he said unto them, What? are ye without understanding also? Do ye not know that whatsoever thing from without entereth into a man, cannot defile him,
19 Because it entered not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught which is the [a]purging of all meats?
20 Then he said, That which cometh out of man, that defileth man.
21 (B)For from within, even out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, [b]covetousness, wickedness, deceit, uncleanness, a [c]wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

Authorized (King James) Version
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
