Mark 7:10-23 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and again, 'Whoever abuses his father or mother must be put to death.'

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and again, 'Whoever abuses his father or mother must be put to death.' ¹¹ But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, "Anything of mine that might have been of use to you is Korban," ' that is, consecrated to God, ¹² you let him off from doing anything more for his father or mother, ¹³ and so you nullify what God has said by what you have handed down. You have many such practices." ¹⁴ He called the people to him again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand this. ¹⁵ Nothing that goes into a man from outside can pollute him. It is what comes out of a man that pollutes him." ¹⁶ OMITTED TEXT ¹⁷ When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples asked him what he meant by this figure. ¹⁸ And he said to them, "Have not even you any understanding then? Do you not see that nothing that goes into a man from outside can pollute him, ¹⁹ since it does not go into his heart but into his stomach and then is disposed of?" So he declared all food clean. ²⁰ He went on to say, "It is what comes out of a man that pollutes him. ²¹ For it is from inside, from men's hearts, that designs of evil come; immorality, stealing, murder, adultery, ²² greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, abusiveness, arrogance, folly— ²³ all these evils come from inside, and they pollute a man."
