And He responding said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: the blind are leaders of the blind: if the blind may lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch. Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable. And Jesus said, Are you indeed still without understanding? Do you know that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into excrement? But those things going out from the mouth come forth from the heart; and these pollute the man.

And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men. And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death. But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother; making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things. And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.

All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
