10 Didn't Moses command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents?
11 But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they own has been offered to God.
12 You won't let those people help their parents.
13 And you ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching. You do a lot of other things just as bad.
14 Jesus called the crowd together again and said, “Pay attention and try to understand what I mean.
15-16 The food that you put into your mouth doesn't make you unclean and unfit to worship God. The bad words that come out of your mouth are what make you unclean.”
17 After Jesus and his disciples had left the crowd and gone into the house, they asked him what these sayings meant.
