9. And he said to them: "You effectively nullify the precept of God, so that you may observe your own tradition.
10. For Moses said: 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever will have cursed father or mother, let him die a death.'
11. But you say, 'If a man will have said to his father or mother: Korban, (which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,'
12. then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother,
13. rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way."
14. And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: "Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
15. There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which procede from a man, these are what pollute a man.
16. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
17. And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
18. And he said to them: "So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?
19. For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods."
20. "But," he said "the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.
21. For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22. thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
23. All these evils procede from within and pollute a man."
