¹And the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to Him when they had come from Jerusalem

And  ¹had seen that some of His disciples ate bread with common hands, that is, unwashed.

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they  ¹carefully wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the  ²elders;

And when they come from the marketplace, unless they  ¹wash themselves, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups and pitchers and copper  ²vessels.)

And the  ¹Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him, Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with common hands?

And He said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied concerning you  ¹hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart stays far away from Me;

But in vain do they  ¹worship Me, teaching as teachings the commandments of men.”

While leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of  ¹men.

And He said to them, You nicely  ¹set aside the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition.

For Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother,” and, “He who speaks evil of father or mother,  ¹let him be put to death.”

But you say: If a man says to his father or his mother, Whatever you would have been profited by me is now  ¹corban (that is, a gift to God),

Allow him to no longer do anything for his father or his mother.

Thus you deprive the word of God of its authority by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things similar to these you do.

And He called the crowd to Him again and said to them, Hear Me, all of you, and understand.

There is nothing outside of a man which entering into him can  ¹defile him, but the things coming out of a man are the things which defile a man.

 ¹If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

And when He entered into a house from the crowd, His disciples questioned Him concerning the parable.

And He said to them, Are you also in the same manner without understanding? Do you not understand that everything that enters from outside into a man is not able to defile him,

Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the stomach, and goes out into the drain? (In saying this, He made all foods clean.)

And He said, That which goes out of the man, that defiles the man.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, fornications, thefts, murders,

Adulteries, covetousness, wickedness,  ¹deceit, licentiousness,  ²envy, blasphemy, arrogance, foolishness.

All these  ¹wicked things proceed from within and defile the man.

 ¹And He rose up from there and went away into the borders of Tyre  ²and Sidon. And entering into a house, He wanted  ³no one to know about it; yet He could not escape notice.

But a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and immediately she came and fell at His feet.

Now the woman was a Greek,  ¹Syrophoenician by race. And she asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

And He said to her, First let the children be satisfied, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the  ¹little dogs.

And she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord, but even the little dogs under the table eat of the little children's crumbs.

And He said to her, Because of this word, go. The  ¹demon has gone out of your daughter.

And she went away to her house and found the little child lying on the couch and the demon gone out.

And on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had  ¹anointed it and sanctified it and all its furnishings and the altar and all its utensils, and had anointed them and sanctified them,

The leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' households (they were the leaders of the tribes, who were over those who had been numbered), presented their offering.

And they brought their offering before Jehovah:  ¹six covered wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the leaders and an ox for each one; and they presented them before the tabernacle.

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Take these from them that they may be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to each according to his service.

And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.

Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon according to their service;

And four wagons and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged to them; they bore this upon their shoulder.

And the leaders presented  ¹offerings for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed; that is, the leaders presented their offering before the altar.

And Jehovah said to Moses, They shall present their offering, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.
