Matthew 15:3-11
3
He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4
For God commanded, k 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, l 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'
5
But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or his mother, "What you would have gained from me is given to God,"
6
he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have m made void the word of God.
7
n You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8
o "'This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
9
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as p doctrines the commandments of men.'"
10
And he called the people to him and said to them, q "Hear and understand:
11
r it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person."
