kjv - Matthew:15:1-20

kjv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

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

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

kjv@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

kjv@Matthew:15:5 @ But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

kjv@Matthew:15:6 @ And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

kjv@Matthew:15:7 @ Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

kjv@Matthew:15:8 @ This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

kjv@Matthew:15:9 @ But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

kjv@Matthew:15:10 @ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

kjv@Matthew:15:11 @ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

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

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

kjv@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

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

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

kjv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

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

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

kjv@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
