Matthew:15:1-9
nkjv@Matthew:15:1 @ Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
nkjv@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
nkjv@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
nkjv@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, saying, "Honor your father and your mother'; and, "He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'
nkjv@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, "Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--
nkjv@Matthew:15:6 @ then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
nkjv@Matthew:15:7 @ Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
nkjv@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.
nkjv@Matthew:15:9 @ And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."'
