Matthew 15:20 Douay-Rheims

These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

He said not that to eat the meats forbidden in the Law defiles not a man, that they might not have what to answer to Him again, but He concludes in that concerning which the disputation had been.
