Matthew:15:1-20

acv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then scholars and Pharisees from Jerusalem come to Jesus, saying,

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

acv@Matthew:15:3 @ And having answered, he said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, because of your tradition?

acv@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and thy mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him perish in death.

acv@Matthew:15:5 @ But ye say, Whoever may say to the father or the mother, Whatever thou might have benefited from me is an offering.

acv@Matthew:15:6 @ And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.

acv@Matthew:15:7 @ Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying,

acv@Matthew:15:8 @ This people comes near me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me.

acv@Matthew:15:9 @ And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

acv@Matthew:15:10 @ And having called in the multitude, he said to them, Hear and understand.

acv@Matthew:15:11 @ Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man, but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

acv@Matthew:15:12 @ Then having come near, his disciples said to him, Know thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard the saying?

acv@Matthew:15:13 @ But having answered, he said, Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant, will be uprooted.

acv@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them. They are blind leaders of blind men, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.

acv@Matthew:15:15 @ And having answered, Peter said to him, Explain this parable to us.

acv@Matthew:15:16 @ And Jesus said, Are ye also still without understanding?

acv@Matthew:15:17 @ Do ye not yet understand, that everything entering into the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into a toilet?

acv@Matthew:15:18 @ But the things coming out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things defile the man.

acv@Matthew:15:19 @ For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings.

acv@Matthew:15:20 @ These are things defiling the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
