MNT(i)
10 For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,
11 you say that if a man tells his father or mother, 'This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban' (that is, a thing devoted to God),
12 you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.
13 Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."

17 After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.
18 "Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.
20 "What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.
21 From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes—
22 fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly—
23 all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
