3

Why do you 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

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.

13

Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be uprooted.

14

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

16

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.

I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
