Matthew:15:1-20

web@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

web@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

web@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

web@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' {Exodus strkjv@20:12; Deuteronomy strkjv@5:16} and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.' {Exodus strkjv@21:17; Leviticus strkjv@20:9}

web@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

web@Matthew:15:6 @ he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

web@Matthew:15:7 @ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

web@Matthew:15:8 @ 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

web@Matthew:15:9 @ And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'" {Isaiah strkjv@29:13}

web@Matthew:15:10 @ He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

web@Matthew:15:11 @ That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

web@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

web@Matthew:15:13 @ But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

web@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

web@Matthew:15:15 @ Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

web@Matthew:15:16 @ So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?

web@Matthew:15:17 @ Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

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

web@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

web@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."
