Matthew 15:2-9

BLB(i) 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they shall eat bread.” 3 And answering He said to them, “Why also do you break the commandment of God on account of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor the Father and mother’ and, ‘The one speaking evil of father or mother, in death must end!’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever shall say to the father or mother, “Whatever you might be profited by me is a gift,” 6 he shall not honor his father or his mother.’ And you made void the commandment of God on account of your tradition! 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly concerning you, saying, 8 ‘This people honors Me with the lips, but their heart is kept far away from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”
