<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> ורמינהי הגבאין שנכנסו לתוך הבית הבית כולו טמא ל"ק הא דאיכא נכרי בהדייהו הא דליכא נכרי בהדייהו דתנן אם יש נכרי עמהן נאמנין לומר לא נכנסנו אבל אין נאמנים לומר נכנסנו אבל לא נגענו

Gemara: But this [statement] is contradicted [by a baraita]: "Tax collectors who entered the house, the entire house is impure!" It is not a contradiction. This [ruling that the entire house is impure] is when there is a non-Jew among them; this [ruling that they are trusted to say it is pure] is when there is not a non-Jew among them, as it is taught: "If there is a non-Jew among them, they are trusted to say, 'We did not enter,' but they are not trusted to say, 'We entered but did not touch [anything].'"
