Mark 7:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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

21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
