Matthew 15:1-9

1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,

2 "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."

2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”

3 He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'

4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

5 But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--

5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’

6 then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

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

8 “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "

9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’”
