For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
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:

So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?
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?
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
