Human Traditions and God’s Commandments

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat {a meal}."
3 So he answered [and] said to them, "Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'The one who speaks evil of father or mother {must certainly die}.'
5 But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or his mother, "Whatever {benefit you would have received} from me [is] a gift [to God],"
6 need not honor his father,' and you make void the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,
8 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me,
9 and they worship me in vain, teaching [as] doctrines the commandments of men.'"
