Lo limpio y lo impuro(A)
15 Se acercaron a Jesús algunos fariseos y maestros de la Ley que habían llegado de Jerusalén y preguntaron:
2 —¿Por qué quebrantan tus discípulos la tradición de los líderes religiosos? ¡Comen sin cumplir primero el rito de lavarse las manos!
3 Jesús contestó:
—¿Y por qué ustedes quebrantan el mandamiento de Dios a causa de la tradición? 4 Dios dijo: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”[a] y también: “El que maldiga a su padre o a su madre será condenado a muerte”.[b] 5 Ustedes, en cambio, enseñan que un hijo puede decir a su padre o a su madre: “Cualquier ayuda que pudiera darte ya la he dedicado como ofrenda a Dios”. 6 En ese caso, el tal hijo no tiene que honrar a su padre.[c] Así por causa de la tradición anulan ustedes la palabra de Dios. 7 ¡Hipócritas! Tenía razón Isaías cuando profetizó de ustedes:
8 »“Este pueblo me honra con los labios,
pero su corazón está lejos de mí.
9 En vano me adoran;
sus enseñanzas no son más que reglas humanas”».[d]
10 Jesús llamó a la multitud y dijo:
—Escuchen y entiendan. 11 Lo que contamina a una persona no es lo que entra en la boca, sino lo que sale de ella.
12 Entonces se le acercaron los discípulos y dijeron:
—¿Sabes que los fariseos se escandalizaron al oír eso?
13 —Toda planta que mi Padre celestial no haya plantado será arrancada de raíz —respondió—. 14 Déjenlos; son guías ciegos.[e] Y si un ciego guía a otro ciego, ambos caerán en un hoyo.
15 —Explícanos la comparación —pidió Pedro.
16 —¿Tampoco ustedes pueden todavía entenderlo? —dijo Jesús—. 17 ¿No se dan cuenta de que todo lo que entra en la boca va al estómago y después se echa en la letrina? 18 Pero lo que sale de la boca viene del corazón y contamina a la persona. 19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, los homicidios, los adulterios, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los falsos testimonios y las calumnias. 20 Estas son las cosas que contaminan a la persona y no el comer sin lavarse las manos.

King James Version
15 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And 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.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

That Which Defiles(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(B)
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](C) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](D) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
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.(E)’[c](F)”
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(G) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(H)
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(I) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](J) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(L)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(M) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(N) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(O) 20 These are what defile a person;(P) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Discussioni sulle tradizioni farisaiche
15 In quel tempo vennero a Gesù da Gerusalemme alcuni farisei e alcuni scribi e gli dissero: 2 «Perché i tuoi discepoli trasgrediscono la tradizione degli antichi? Poiché non si lavano le mani quando prendono cibo!». 3 Ed egli rispose loro: «Perché voi trasgredite il comandamento di Dio in nome della vostra tradizione? 4 Dio ha detto:
Onora il padre e la madre
e inoltre:
Chi maledice il padre e la madre sia messo a morte.
5 Invece voi asserite: Chiunque dice al padre o alla madre: Ciò con cui ti dovrei aiutare è offerto a Dio, 6 non è più tenuto a onorare suo padre o sua madre. Così avete annullato la parola di Dio in nome della vostra tradizione. 7 Ipocriti! Bene ha profetato di voi Isaia, dicendo:
8 Questo popolo mi onora con le labbra
ma il suo cuore è lontano da me.
9 Invano essi mi rendono culto,
insegnando dottrine che sono precetti di uomini».
Insegnamento sul puro e sull'impuro
10 Poi riunita la folla disse: «Ascoltate e intendete! 11 Non quello che entra nella bocca rende impuro l'uomo, ma quello che esce dalla bocca rende impuro l'uomo!».
12 Allora i discepoli gli si accostarono per dirgli: «Sai che i farisei si sono scandalizzati nel sentire queste parole?». 13 Ed egli rispose: «Ogni pianta che non è stata piantata dal mio Padre celeste sarà sradicata. 14 Lasciateli! Sono ciechi e guide di ciechi. E quando un cieco guida un altro cieco, tutti e due cadranno in un fosso!». 15 Pietro allora gli disse: «Spiegaci questa parabola». 16 Ed egli rispose: «Anche voi siete ancora senza intelletto? 17 Non capite che tutto ciò che entra nella bocca, passa nel ventre e va a finire nella fogna? 18 Invece ciò che esce dalla bocca proviene dal cuore. Questo rende immondo l'uomo. 19 Dal cuore, infatti, provengono i propositi malvagi, gli omicidi, gli adultèri, le prostituzioni, i furti, le false testimonianze, le bestemmie. 20 Queste sono le cose che rendono immondo l'uomo, ma il mangiare senza lavarsi le mani non rende immondo l'uomo».
