Mark 7:9-19

9 And he said to them, Well ye have made the commandment of God void, to keep your tradition. [And he said to them, Well ye have made the commandment of God void, that ye keep your tradition.]
10 For Moses said, Worship thy father and thy mother [Honour thou thy father and thy mother]; and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.
11 But ye say, If a man [shall] say to father or mother, Corban, that is, Whatever gift is of me, it shall profit to thee;
12 and over [and further] ye suffer not him [to] do any thing to father or mother,
13 and ye break the word of God by your tradition, that ye have given [+breaking the word of God by your tradition, which ye have given]; and ye do many [other] such things.
14 And he again called the people, and said to them, Ye all hear me, and understand.
15 Nothing that is without a man, that entereth into him, may defoul him [Nothing without man is entering into him, that may defoul him]; but those things that come forth of a man, those it be that defoul a man.
16 If any man have ears of hearing [Forsooth if any man have ears to hear], hear he.
17 And when he was entered into an house, from the people, his disciples asked him the parable.
18 And he said to them [And he saith to them], [So] Ye be unwise also. Understand ye not, that all thing withoutforth that entereth into a man, may not defoul him?
19 for it hath not entered into his heart, but into the womb, and beneath it goeth out, purging all meats.
