1And the Pharisees and some of the scribes assemble to him, having come from Jerusalem.2And seeing some of his disciples eating the bread with common, that is, unwashed, hands,3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands with the fist, holding the tradition of the elders.4And from the marketplace they do not eat unless they baptize; and there are many other things which they received to hold: baptisms of cups and of pitchers and of kettles and of beds.5And the Pharisees and the scribes question him: Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with common hands?6But he said to them: Isaiah prophesied well concerning you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.7In vain then they are devout to me, teaching teachings that are precepts of humans.8Leaving the commandment of God, you grasp the tradition of humans.9And he said to them: You rightly reject the commandment of God in order that you may keep your tradition.10For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and: Whoever reviles father or mother shall surely die.11But you say: If a person says to father or mother, 'Corban' (which is a gift), whatever comes out from me.12You no longer allow him to do anything for the father or for the mother.13Nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you delivered, and you do many things like these.14And calling the crowd again, he said to them: Hear me, all of you, and understand.15Nothing outside the human that enters him is able to profane him; rather, the things that come out from the human are what profane the human.16If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.17And when he entered a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.18And he says to them: Are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that nothing outside that enters the human is able to profane him?19It does not enter his heart but goes into the belly and out into the latrine, cleansing all foods.20And he said that what comes out from the human profanes the human.21For from within, out of the heart of humans, come the evil reasonings: sexual sins, thefts, and murders.22Adulteries, greedinesses, evils, deceit, debauchery, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.23All these evil things come out from within and profane the human.
