Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ & ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος
the_‹things› & going_out out_of the mouth
Here Jesus is referring to words, which are what come out of people’s mouths. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you translated the similar phrase in 15:11. Alternate translation: [the words that come out of the mouth]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐκπορευόμενα & ἐξέρχεται
going_out & /is/_coming_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “going” and “go” instead of coming and come. Alternate translation: [going out … go]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τοῦ στόματος & τῆς καρδίας & τὸν ἄνθρωπον
the mouth & the heart & the person
The phrases the mouth, the heart, and the man represent men, their mouths, and their hearts in general, not one particular man his mouth, and his heart. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [someone’s mouth … that person’s heart … that person]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῆς καρδίας
the heart
In the author’s culture, the heart is the place where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the place where humans think and feel in your culture or by expressing the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [the mind] or [the thoughts]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τὸν ἄνθρωπον
the person
Although the term man is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [the person]
15:1-20 Jesus indicted the Pharisees for disobeying God’s law in their zeal to preserve traditions.

OET (OET-RV) But the things that come out of your mouth are coming from your mind and that’s what defiles a person.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
