1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands before they eat."
3 He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God said, "Honor your father and your mother,' and, "Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.'
5 But you say that whoever tells father or mother, "Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,' then that person need not honor the father.
6 So, for the sake of your tradition, you make void the word of God.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly about you when he said:
8 "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' "
