Matthew:15:1-20

mkjv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

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

mkjv@Matthew:15:3 @ But He answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

mkjv@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die by death.

mkjv@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, Whoever says to [his] father or mother, Whatever you would gain from me, [It is] a gift to God;

mkjv@Matthew:15:6 @ and in no way he honors his father or his mother. And you voided the commandment of God by your tradition.

mkjv@Matthew:15:7 @ Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

mkjv@Matthew:15:8 @ This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from Me.

mkjv@Matthew:15:9 @ But in vain they worship Me, teaching [for] doctrines [the] commandments of men.

mkjv@Matthew:15:10 @ And He called the crowd and said to them, Hear and understand.

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

mkjv@Matthew:15:12 @ Then His disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?

mkjv@Matthew:15:13 @ But He answered and said, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

mkjv@Matthew:15:14 @ Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

mkjv@Matthew:15:15 @ Then Peter answered and said to Him, Explain this parable to us.

mkjv@Matthew:15:16 @ And Jesus said, Are you also still without understanding?

mkjv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do you not yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into [the] waste-bowl?

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

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

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