And He said unto them, "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10
For Moses said, `Honor thy father and thy mother,' and, `Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.'
11
But ye say that if a man shall say to his father or mother, `It is Corban' (that is to say, a gift of whatsoever thou mightest have profited from me), he shall be freed;
12
and ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother,
13
thus making the Word of God of no effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered. And many like things do ye."

And when He had called all the people unto Him, He said unto them, "Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand:
15

16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
17
And when He had entered into the house away from the people, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
18
And He said unto them, "Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from outside entereth into a man, it cannot defile him,
19
because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly and goeth out into the drain, thereby purging all meats?"
