“But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,”
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:

The Heart of Man
Peter said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.”

But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?

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?
“But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
