6. But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.
7. But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their teachings commandments of men.
8. For, leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men to keep--washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.
9. And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves to keep.
10. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
11. But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, It is corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by...
12. And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
13. making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
14. And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15. There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.
16. If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
17. And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18. And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,
19. because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
