Bede the Venerable, on Mark 7:14

“And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.”

“Thus then it is not meat that makes men unclean, but wickedness, which works in us the passions which come from within; wherefore it goes on: And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.”
