Matthew 15:1-9

1Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

2Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of 1God on account of your traditional teaching?

4For 2God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

6and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of 3God on account of your traditional teaching.

7Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

8This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

9but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
