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

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.'
