4 For God said: Honor your father and your mother; and, The one who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.

4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

5 But you say, 'Whoever tells his father or mother, "Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift [committed to the temple]"-

5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’

6 he does not have to honor his father.' In this way, you have revoked God's word because of your tradition.

6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

12 Then the disciples came up and told Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?"

13 He replied, "Every plant that My heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.

14 Leave them alone! They are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

17 "Don't you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?

17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?

18 But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

20 These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
