NSB(i)
10 »Moses said: ‘Honor your father and your mother. He also said: ‘He that speaks evil of father or mother must die.’
11 »But you say: ‘If a man says to his father or his mother that which would benefit you is a gift to God,
12 he no longer has to do anything for his father or mother.’
13 »You make the word of God invalid by your tradition.«
14 He called the crowd again and said: »Listen and understand!
15 »Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. That which comes from inside of a man can make him unclean.
16 »If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.«
17 When he entered the house away from the crowd his disciples asked him to explain.
18 He replied: »Do you not understand? Do you not know that which goes into the man from the outside cannot defile him?
19 »It is because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach and is eliminated? All foods are clean.
20 »That which comes out of the man defiles the man.
21 »It is from the heart that evil thoughts come such as: fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, loose conduct, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
23 »All these evil things come from within and defile the man.«
