1
Then
came
to
Jesus
scribes
and
Pharisees,
which were
of
Jerusalem,
saying
,
2
Why
do
thy
disciples
transgress
the
tradition
of the
elders?
for
they
wash
not
their
hands
when
they
eat
bread.
3
But
he
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Why
do
ye
also
transgress
the
commandment
of
God
by
your
tradition?
4
For
God
commanded
,
saying
,
Honour
thy
father
and
mother:
and,
He that
curseth
father
or
mother,
let him
die
the
death.
5
But
ye
say
,
Whosoever
shall
say
to his
father
or
his
mother,
It is a
gift,
by
whatsoever
thou
mightest be
profited
by
me;
6
And
honour
not
his
father
or
his
mother,
he shall be free.
Thus
have ye
made
the
commandment
of
God
of none
effect
by
your
tradition.
7
Ye
hypocrites,
well
did
Esaias
prophesy
of
you,
saying
,
8
This
people
draweth
nigh
unto
me
with
their
mouth,
and
honoureth
me
with their
lips;
but
their
heart
is
far
from
me.
9
But
in
vain
they do
worship
me,
teaching
for
doctrines
the
commandments
of
men.
10
And
he
called
the
multitude,
and
said
unto
them,
Hear
,
and
understand
:
11
Not
that which
goeth
into
the
mouth
defileth
a
man;
but
that which
cometh
out
of
the
mouth,
this
defileth
a
man.
12
Then
came
his
disciples,
and
said
unto
him,
Knowest
thou
that
the
Pharisees
were
offended
, after they
heard
this
saying?
13
But
he
answered
and
said
,
Every
plant,
which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
not
planted
, shall be rooted
up
.
14
Let
them
alone
: they
be
blind
leaders
of the
blind.
And
if
the
blind
lead
the
blind,
both
shall
fall
into
the
ditch.
15
Then
answered
Peter
and
said
unto
him,
Declare
unto
us
this
parable.
16
And
Jesus
said
,
Are
ye
also
yet
without
understanding?
17
Do
not
ye
yet
understand
,
that
whatsoever
entereth
in
at
the
mouth
goeth
into
the
belly,
and
is cast
out
into
the
draught?
18
But
those things
which
proceed
out
of
the
mouth
come
forth
from
the
heart;
and
they
defile
the
man.
19
For
out
of
the
heart
proceed
evil
thoughts,
murders,
adulteries,
fornications,
thefts,
false
witness,
blasphemies:
20
These
are
the things
which
defile
a
man:
but
to
eat
with
unwashen
hands
defileth
not
a
man.
