Chapter 15

8‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 9AND IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’?'
10After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, 'Hear and understand! 11It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.'
12Then the disciples came and *said to Him, 'Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?' 13But He answered and said, 'Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14Leave them alone; they are blind guides of blind people. And if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.'
15Peter said to Him, 'Explain the parable to us.' 16Jesus said, 'Are you also still lacking in understanding? 17Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?
King James Version

Chapter 15

8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Chapter 15

8 This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 9 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands."
10Summoning the crowd, he told them, "Listen and understand: 11It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person."
12Then the disciples came up and told him, "Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?"
13He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted. 14Leave them alone! They are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
15Then Peter said, "Explain this parable to us."
16"Do you still lack understanding?" he asked. 17"Don’t you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?
New Living Translation

Chapter 15

8‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’ '
10Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. 'Listen,' he said, 'and try to understand. 11It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.'
12Then the disciples came to him and asked, 'Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?'
13Jesus replied, 'Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, 14so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch.'
15Then Peter said to Jesus, 'Explain to us the parable that says people aren’t defiled by what they eat.'
16Don’t you understand yet?' Jesus asked. 17Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.

And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." 15But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us." 16And he said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?
New International Version

Chapter 15

8 " ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ "
10Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand. 11What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them."
12Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"
13He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit."
15Peter said, "Explain the parable to us."
16"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. 17"Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?
New King James Version

Chapter 15

8‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 9And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
