ACV(i)
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 And having answered, he said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and thy mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him perish in death.
5 But ye say, Whoever may say to the father or the mother, Whatever thou might have benefited from me is an offering.
6 And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying,
8 This people comes near me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me.
9 And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
