Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you, but rather, it’s what comes out of your mouth.”
OET-LV Not the thing coming_in into the mouth is_defiling the person, but the thing going_out out_of the mouth, this is_defiling the person.
SR-GNT Οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.” ‡
(Ou to eiserⱪomenon eis to stoma koinoi ton anthrōpon, alla to ekporeuomenon ek tou stomatos, touto koinoi ton anthrōpon.”)

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
15:11 what goes into your mouth: Jesus was speaking here either of foods that were not permitted (e.g., pork or shellfish) or of food contaminated by unclean hands (15:20).
• That which defiles makes a person unfit for communion with God. Jesus pressed the matter beyond ceremonial purity to true inner purity (see 15:18-19; 23:25-26; Acts 10:1-48; Rom 14:14).
• One’s words are a measure of one’s character (see Matt 15:18-20; Jas 3:1-12).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα
the_‹thing› coming_in into the mouth
Here Jesus is referring to food and drink, which are what people put into their mouths. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “The food and drink that the man puts into his mouth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τὸ στόμα & τὸν ἄνθρωπον & τοῦ στόματος & τὸν ἄνθρωπον
the_‹thing› the mouth & the person & the mouth & the person
The phrases the mouth and the man represent men and their mouths in general, not one particular man and his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “someone’s mouth … that person … someone’s mouth … that person”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
(Occurrence -1) τὸν ἄνθρωπον
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον)
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 … the person”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, τοῦτο
the_‹thing› the the_‹thing› going_out out_of the mouth this
Here, the word this refers directly back to what comes out from the mouth. Jesus expresses the idea in this way to introduce what comes out from the mouth and then explain what it does. If stating the topic and then referring back to it with the word this would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: “what comes out from the mouth”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος
the_‹thing› the the_‹thing› 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. Alternate translation: “the words that come out of his mouth”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐκπορευόμενον
going_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “goes” instead of comes. Alternate translation: “goes out”
