2"Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat." | 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. |

4For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.' | 4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. |
5But you say, 'If someone tells his father or mother, "Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God," | 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; |
6he does not need to honor his father.' You have nullified the word of God on account of your tradition. | 6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. |
7Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said, | 7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, |
8This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, | 8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. |
9and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" | 9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. |

16Jesus said, "Even after all this, are you still so foolish? | 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? |
17Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach and then passes out into the sewer? | 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? |
18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a person. | 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. |
19For out of the heart come evil ideas, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. | 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: |
20These are the things that defile a person; it is not eating with unwashed hands that defiles a person." | 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. |

27"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." | 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. |
28Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you." And her daughter was healed from that hour. | 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. |
