Exegesis
The neuter substantival participles eiserchomenon {τὸ εἰσερχόμενον | tò ei-ser-khó-me-non} “the thing entering” and ekporeuomenon {τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον | tò ek-po-reu-ó-me-non} “the thing coming out” function as subjects of the verb koinoi {κοινοῖ | koi-noî} “defiles.”
Each is accompanied by a prepositional phrase, eis to stoma {εἰς τὸ στόμα | eis tò stó-ma} “into the mouth” and ek tou stomatos {ἐκ τοῦ στόματος | ek toû stó-ma-tos} “out of the mouth,” indicating direction and location.
