¹ Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

² And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

³ For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴ And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

⁵ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

⁶ He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷ Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁸ For 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 he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹ But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

¹² And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³ Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

¹⁴ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

¹⁵ There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

¹⁶ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷ And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸ And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye 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 he said, 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 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

¹ Then ^G2532 came together ^G4863 unto ^G4314 him ^G846 the Pharisees, ^G5330 and ^G2532 certain ^G5100 of the scribes, ^G1122 which came ^G2064 from ^G575 Jerusalem. ^G2414

² And ^G2532 when they saw ^G1492 some ^G5100 of his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 eat ^G2068 bread ^G740 with defiled, ^G2839 that is to say, ^G5123 with unwashen, ^G449 hands, ^G5495 they found fault. ^G3201

³ For ^G1063 the Pharisees, ^G5330 and ^G2532 all ^G3956 the Jews, ^G2453 except ^G3362 they wash ^G3538 their hands ^G5495 oft, ^G4435 eat ^G2068 not, ^G3756 holding ^G2902 the tradition ^G3862 of the elders. ^G4245

⁴ And ^G2532 when they come from ^G575 the market, ^G58 except ^G3362 they wash, ^G907 they eat ^G2068 not. ^G3756 And ^G2532 many ^G4183 other things ^G243 there be, ^G2076 which ^G3739 they have received ^G3880 to hold, ^G2902 as the washing ^G909 of cups, ^G4221 and ^G2532 pots, ^{G3582 G2532} brasen vessels, ^G5473 and ^G2532 of tables. ^G2825

⁵ Then ^G1899 the Pharisees ^G5330 and ^G2532 scribes ^G1122 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 Why ^G1302 walk ^G4043 not ^G3756 thy ^G4675 disciples ^G3101 according ^G2596 to the tradition ^G3862 of the elders, ^G4245 but ^G235 eat ^G2068 bread ^G740 with unwashen ^G449 hands? ^G5495

⁶ He answered ^G611 and ^G1161 said ^G2036 unto them, ^{G846 G3754} Well ^G2573 hath Esaias ^G2268 prophesied ^G4395 of ^G4012 you ^G5216 hypocrites, ^G5273 as ^G5613 it is written, ^G1125 This ^G3778 people ^G2992 honoureth ^G5091 me ^G3165 with their lips, ^G5491 but ^G1161 their ^G846 heart ^G2588 is ^G568 far ^G4206 from ^G575 me. ^G1700

⁷ Howbeit ^G1161 in vain ^G3155 do they worship ^G4576 me, ^G3165 teaching ^G1321 for doctrines ^G1319 the commandments ^G1778 of men. ^G444

⁸ For ^G1063 laying aside ^G863 the commandment ^G1785 of God, ^G2316 ye hold ^G2902 the tradition ^G3862 of men, ^G444 as the washing ^G909 of pots ^G3582 and ^G2532 cups: ^G4221 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 other ^G243 such ^G5108 like things ^G3946 ye do. ^G4160

⁹ And ^G2532 he said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Full well ^G2573 ye reject ^G114 the commandment ^G1785 of God, ^G2316 that ^G2443 ye may keep ^G5083 your own ^G5216 tradition. ^G3862

¹⁰ For ^G1063 Moses ^G3475 said, ^G2036 Honour ^G5091 thy ^G4675 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 mother; ^G3384 and, ^G2532 Whoso curseth ^G2551 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 let him die ^G5053 the death: ^G2288

¹¹ But ^G1161 ye ^G5210 say, ^G3004 If ^G1437 a man ^G444 shall say ^G2036 to his father ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 It is Corban, ^G2878 that is to say, ^G3603 a gift, ^G1435 by ^G1537 whatsoever ^{G3739 G1437} thou mightest be profited by ^G5623 me; ^G1700 he shall be free.

¹² And ^G2532 ye suffer ^G863 him ^G846 no more ^G3765 to do ^G4160 ought ^G3762 for his ^G846 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 his ^G846 mother; ^G3384

¹³ Making ^G208 the word ^G3056 of God ^G2316 of none effect ^G208 through your ^G5216 tradition, ^G3862 which ^G3739 ye have delivered: ^G3860 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 such ^G5108 like things ^G3946 do ye. ^G4160

¹⁴ And ^G2532 when he had called ^G4341 all ^G3956 the people ^G3793 unto him, he said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Hearken ^G191 unto me ^G3450 every one ^G3956 of you, and ^G2532 understand: ^G4920

¹⁵ There is ^G2076 nothing ^G3762 from without ^G1855 a man, ^G444 that ^G3739 entering ^G1531 into ^G1519 him ^G846 can ^G1410 defile ^G2840 him: ^G846 but ^G235 the things which come ^G1607 out of ^G575 him, ^G846 those ^G1565 are they ^G2076 that defile ^G2840 the man. ^G444

¹⁶ If any man ^G1536 have ^G2192 ears ^G3775 to hear, ^G191 let him hear. ^G191

¹⁷ And ^G2532 when ^G3753 he was entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 the house ^G3624 from ^G575 the people, ^G3793 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G1905 him ^G846 concerning ^G4012 the parable. ^G3850

¹⁸ And ^G2532 he saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Are ^G2075 ye ^G5210 so ^G3779 without understanding ^G801 also? ^G2532 Do ye ^G3539 not ^G3756 perceive, ^G3539 that ^G3754 whatsoever thing ^G3956 from without ^G1855 entereth ^G1531 into ^G1519 the man, ^G444 it cannot ^{G3756 G1410} defile ^G2840 him; ^G846

¹⁹ Because ^G3754 it entereth ^G1531 not ^G3756 into ^G1519 his ^G846 heart, ^G2588 but ^G235 into ^G1519 the belly, ^G2836 and ^G2532 goeth out ^G1607 into ^G1519 the draught, ^G856 purging ^G2511 all ^G3956 meats? ^G1033

²⁰ And ^G1161 he said, ^{G3004 G3754} That which cometh ^G1607 out of ^G1537 the man, ^G444 that ^G1565 defileth ^G2840 the man. ^G444

²¹ For ^G1063 from within, ^G2081 out of ^G1537 the heart ^G2588 of men, ^G444 proceed ^G1607 evil ^G2556 thoughts, ^G1261 adulteries, ^G3430 fornications, ^G4202 murders, ^G5408

²² Thefts, ^G2829 covetousness, ^G4124 wickedness, ^G4189 deceit, ^G1388 lasciviousness, ^G766 an evil ^G4190 eye, ^G3788 blasphemy, ^G988 pride, ^G5243 foolishness: ^G877

²³ All ^G3956 these ^G5023 evil things ^G4190 come ^G1607 from within, ^G2081 and ^G2532 defile ^G2840 the man. ^G444

¹ And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

² and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

³ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

⁴ and `when they come' from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

⁶ And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

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, `it' cannot defile him;

¹⁹ because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? `This he said', making all meats clean.

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.

---

¹ And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

² and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault;

³ for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

⁴ and, `coming' from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

⁵ Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

⁶ and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

⁷ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁸ for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

⁹ And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

¹⁰ for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

¹¹ and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), `is' whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹² and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

¹³ setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

¹⁴ And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

¹⁵ there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

¹⁶ If any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.'

¹⁷ And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

¹⁸ and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

¹⁹ because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'

²⁰ And he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²² thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

²³ all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

---

¹ And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,

² and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

³ (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

⁴ and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

⁵ then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

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?

²⁰ And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²² thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;

²³ all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

---

¹ Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

² Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

³ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

⁴ They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

⁵ The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

⁶ He answered them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

⁸ "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men--the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."

⁹ He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

¹¹ But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban{Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God.}, that is to say, given to God;"'

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."

¹⁴ He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of 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 anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

¹⁷ When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

¹⁸ He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

¹⁹ because it doesn't go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus making all foods clean?"

²⁰ He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

---

¹ And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

² And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

³ Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

⁴ And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

⁶ And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷ But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

⁸ For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

⁹ And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

¹¹ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

¹² You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;

¹³ Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

¹⁴ And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

¹⁵ There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

¹⁶ []

¹⁷ And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.

¹⁸ And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

¹⁹ Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

²⁰ And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

²¹ Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

²² The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

²³ All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.
