Matthew 15:1-20

1Then there comeG4334 to JesusG2424 from JerusalemG2414 PhariseesG5330 and scribesG1122, sayingG3004, 2WhyG5101 do thy disciplesG3101 transgress the traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245? for they washG3538 not their handsG5495 whenG3752 they eatG2068 breadG740. 3And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, WhyG5101 do ye alsoG2532 transgress the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 because of your traditionG3862? 4For GodG2316 saidG3004, HonorG5091 thy fatherG3962 and thy motherG3384: and, He that speaketh evilG2551 of fatherG3962 or motherG3384, let him die the deathG2288. 5But ye sayG3004, Whosoever shall sayG3004 to his fatherG3962 or his motherG3384, That wherewith thou mightest have been profitedG5623 by me is given to God; 6he shall not honorG5091 his fatherG3962. And ye have made void the wordG3056 of GodG2316 because of your traditionG3862. 7Ye hypocritesG5273, wellG2573 did IsaiahG2268 prophesyG4395 of you, sayingG3004,

10And he called to him the multitudeG3793, and saidG3004 unto them, HearG191, and understandG4920: 11Not that which entereth into the mouthG4750 defileth the manG444; but that which proceedeth out of the mouthG4750, this defileth the manG444. 12ThenG5119 cameG4334 the disciplesG3101, and saidG3004 unto him, Knowest thou that the PhariseesG5330 were offendedG4624, when they heardG191 this sayingG3004? 13But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Every plant which my heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 plantedG5452 not, shall be rooted up. 14Let them aloneG863: they areG1510 blindG5185 guidesG3595. And if the blindG5185 guide the blindG5185, both shall fallG4098 into a pitG999. 15And PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Declare unto us the parableG3850. 16And he saidG3004, AreG1510 ye alsoG2532 evenG2532 yet without understandingG801? 17Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouthG4750 passeth into the bellyG2836, and is castG1544 out into the draught? 18But the things which proceed out of the mouthG4750 comeG1831 forthG1831 out of the heartG2588; and they defileG2840 the manG444. 19For out of the heartG2588 comeG1831 forthG1831 evilG4190 thoughtsG1261, murdersG5408, adulteriesG3430, fornications, theftsG2829, false witness, railings: 20these areG1510 the thingsG3778 which defileG2840 the manG444; but to eatG2068 with unwashen handsG5495 defileth not the manG444.
