*
And there come together to him the Pharisees ,
and some of the scribes ,
who came from Jerusalem ;
*
and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled ,
that is ,
unwashed hands ,
* (
for the Pharisees ,
and all the Jews ,
unless they wash their hands often ,
do not eat ,
holding fast the tradition of the elders ;
*
and on coming from the marketplace ,
unless they bathe ,
they do not eat ;
and there are many other things which they have received to hold ,
the dipping of cups ,
and pitchers ,
and brazen vessels ;)
*
then the Pharisees and scribes ask him ,
Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders ,
but eat bread with defiled hands ?
*
And he said to them ,
Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites ,
as it is written , "
This people honoreth me with their lips ,
but their heart is far from me .
*
But in vain do they worship me ,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men ."
*
Laying aside ,
the commandment of God ,
ye hold fast the tradition of men .
*
And he said to them ,
Full well do ye reject the commandment of God ,
that ye may keep your tradition !
*
For Moses said , "
Honor thy father and thy mother ;"
and , "
He that curseth father or mother ,
let him surely die ."
*
But ye say ,
If a man say to his father or mother ,
Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is Corban ,
that is ,
a gift to God ,
*
ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother ;
*
making void the word of God by your tradition ,
which ye have handed down ;
and many such things ye do .
*
And again calling the multitude to him ,
he said to them ,
Hearken to me all of you ,
and understand .
*
Nothing that entereth into a man from without can defile him ;
but the things that come out of him are what defile a man .

*
And when he had gone into the house from the crowd ,
his disciples asked him concerning the parable .
*
And he saith to them ,
Are ye too so without discernment ?
Do ye not understand that whatever thing from without entereth into a man ,
cannot defile him ?
*
because it entereth not into his heart ,
but into the stomach ;
and goeth out into the drain ,
which cleanseth all kinds of food .
*
And he said ,
That which cometh out of a man ,
that defileth a man .
*
For from within ,
out of the heart of men ,
come forth evil thoughts ,
fornications ,
*
thefts ,
murders ,
adulteries ,
covetousness ,
iniquities ,
deceit ,
wantonness ,
an evil eye ,
blasphemy ,
pride ,
foolishness .
*
All these evil things come from within ,
and defile a man .
