Exegesis
The sentence opens with the contrasted subject phrase ta de ekporeuomena {τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα | tá dè ekporeuómena} ‘but the things that come out’, where the conjunction de marks a contrast with the previous statement about what does not defile. The participle ekporeuomena functions substantivally as the grammatical subject.
In context — Matthew 15:18
But the things that come out from the mouth come forth from the heart , and these defile the person .
