2 W hy do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

3 A nd he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 F or God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.

For God said, ‘ Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘ He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’

5 B ut ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God;

But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,”

6 h e shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:

8 T his people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

‘ This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.

9 B ut in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

‘ But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.

11 N ot that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

12 T hen came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”

13 B ut he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.

14 L et them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” The Heart of Man

15 A nd Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.

Peter said to Him, “ Explain the parable to us.”

16 A nd he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?

Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?

17 P erceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

18 B ut the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

19 F or out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

20 t hese are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.” The Syrophoenician Woman

And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.”

23 B ut he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

27 B ut she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
