[1] Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. [2] And some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, with unwashen, hands, [3] For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. [4] And when they come from the market, they wash, they eat not. And many other things which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. [5] the Pharisees and scribes asked him, walk not disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread hands? [6] and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth with their lips, but their heart is far from [7] Howbeit in vain do they worship teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. [8] laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. [9] And unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep tradition. [10] For Moses said, Honour father and mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: [11] But say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by [12] ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; [13] the word of God of none effect tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. [14] And when he had called all the people unto them, Hearken every one of you, and understand: [15] nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come him, that defile the man. [16] have ears to hear, [17] And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him the parable. [18] And he saith unto them, so without understanding also? not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; [19] Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? [20] And That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. [21] For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, [22] covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: [23] All evil things come from within, and defile the man.
