4. For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever it be by which received from me thou wouldest be profited:
6. and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
7. Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
8. This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
9. but in vain do they worship me, teaching as teachings commandments of men.
10. And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
11. Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12. Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
13. But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
14. Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
15. And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16. But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
17. Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
18. but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
19. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
20. these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
21. And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
22. and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried to him saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
23. But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to him and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
24. But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
