7. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
8. Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
9. And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.
10. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
11. but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;
12. ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
13. making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
14. And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
15. there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
16. If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17. And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.
18. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man,

20. And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
21. For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22. covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
23. all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
24. And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.
