| Mark 6:35 | As the hour grew late, his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) disciples came to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd) and said, “This is a deserted place and the hour is already late. |

| Mark 7:5 | And the Pharisees and scribes asked him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd), “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?” |
| Mark 7:6 | And he said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “Isaiah prophesied accurately about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl masc3rd) heart is far from me. |
| Mark 7:9 | And he said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “You are clever at setting aside the command of God in order to establish your own tradition. |

| Mark 7:18 | So he said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “Are you too so lacking in understanding? Do you not know that nothing coming into a man from outside is able to defile him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd), |
| Mark 7:19 | because it does not enter his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) heart, but his stomach, and goes out into the latrine?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) |
