dby - Matthew:15:1-20

dby@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

dby@Matthew:15:2 @ Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

dby@Matthew:15:3 @ But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?

dby@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

dby@Matthew:15:5 @ But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

dby@Matthew:15:6 @ and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.

dby@Matthew:15:7 @ Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

dby@Matthew:15:8 @ This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

dby@Matthew:15:9 @ but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.

dby@Matthew:15:10 @ And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

dby@Matthew:15:11 @ Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

dby@Matthew:15:12 @ Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

dby@Matthew:15:13 @ But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

dby@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

dby@Matthew:15:15 @ And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

dby@Matthew:15:16 @ But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?

dby@Matthew:15:17 @ Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?

dby@Matthew:15:18 @ but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

dby@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

dby@Matthew:15:20 @ these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
