Matthew 15:1-9
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[1] Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, [2] "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread." [3] He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition? [4] For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.' [5] But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God," [6] he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition. [7] You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, [8] 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. [9] And in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"
