jub - Matthew:15:1-20

jub@Matthew:15:1 @ Then certain scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem came unto Jesus, saying,

jub@Matthew:15:2 @ Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

jub@Matthew:15:3 @ But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

jub@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, and, He that curses father or mother, let him die without recourse.

jub@Matthew:15:5 @ But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, Whatever I might have helped thee with is already my offering [unto God],

jub@Matthew:15:6 @ and [now] has no need to honour his father or his mother [with succour]. Thus ye have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

jub@Matthew:15:7 @ [Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

jub@Matthew:15:8 @ This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth and honours me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me.

jub@Matthew:15:9 @ But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

jub@Matthew:15:10 @ And calling the multitude unto him, he said unto them, Hear and understand:

jub@Matthew:15:11 @ not that which goes into the mouth defiles the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

jub@Matthew:15:12 @ Then his disciples came and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?

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

jub@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

jub@Matthew:15:15 @ Then Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

jub@Matthew:15:16 @ And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

jub@Matthew:15:17 @ Do not ye yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly and is cast out into the draught?

jub@Matthew:15:18 @ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man.

jub@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

jub@Matthew:15:20 @ these are [the things] which defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
