Matthew 15:4
Compare all
2 a“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”  
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, a‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, b‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’  
5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, a“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”—  
6 then he need not honor his father1 or mother.’ Thus you have made the2 commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.  
7 aHypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 
8 ‘Thesea people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me. 
9 And in vain they worship Me,
aTeaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”  
10 aWhen He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand:  
11 aNot what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
