Matthew:15:1-20
drb@Matthew:15:1 @Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
drb@Matthew:15:2 @Why do thy disciples trangress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
drb@Matthew:15:3 @But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
drb@Matthew:15:4 @Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
drb@Matthew:15:5 @But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
drb@Matthew:15:6 @And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
drb@Matthew:15:7 @Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
drb@Matthew:15:8 @This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
drb@Matthew:15:9 @And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
drb@Matthew:15:10 @And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
drb@Matthew:15:11 @Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
drb@Matthew:15:12 @Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
drb@Matthew:15:13 @But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
drb@Matthew:15:14 @Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
drb@Matthew:15:15 @And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
drb@Matthew:15:16 @But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
drb@Matthew:15:17 @Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
drb@Matthew:15:18 @But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
drb@Matthew:15:19 @For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies
drb@Matthew:15:20 @These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
