γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a basis for the claim that Jesus made in the previous verse about how what comes out from a person is what defiles that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “That is because” or “I say that because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων
from the heart ¬the ˱of˲_people
In Jesus’ culture, the heart is the place where humans think, feel, and desire. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the place where humans think, feel, and desire in your culture, or you could express the idea plainly. See how you translated heart in 7:19. Alternate translation: “from the head of men” or “from the mind of men” or “from what men think and desire”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
τῆς καρδίας
the heart
If it would not be natural in your language to speak as if a group of people had only one heart, you could use the plural form of that word in your translation. Alternate translation: “the hearts”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τῶν ἀνθρώπων
¬the ˱of˲_people
Although the term men 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: “of humans”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐκπορεύονται
/are/_going_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “go out”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκπορεύονται
/are/_going_out
Here Jesus speaks as if evil deeds and desires go out from the inside of a person. He means that these evil deeds and desires have their origin from the person, not from anything outside the person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “spring” or “originate”
7:1-23 This account has no direct connection with what precedes it. It assumes only a context such as “Once in the ministry of Jesus.” After setting the scene (7:1-4), Mark introduces the Pharisees’ question (7:5), followed by Jesus’ response (7:6-23). The first part of Jesus’ response (7:6-13) centers around two Old Testament passages and a twofold attack on the Pharisees’ traditions (7:6-8, 9-13). In the second part (7:14-23), Jesus teaches about what does and does not truly defile.

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.
