Matthew 15:1-9

Listen to Matthew 15:1-9

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

2 "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

3 He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

5 But you say, 'Whoever will tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

6 he will not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"
