¹ NOW THERE gathered together to the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, ² For they had seen that some of His disciples ate with common hands, that is, unwashed -- ³ For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands with clenched fist, adhering to the tradition of their forefathers . ⁴ And from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions , the washing of cups and wooden pitchers and widemouthed jugs and utensils of copper and beds-- ⁵ And the Pharisees and scribes kept asking , Why do Your disciples not order their way of living according to the tradition handed down by the forefathers , but eat with hands unwashed and ceremonially not purified? ⁶ But He said to them, Excellently and truly did Isaiah prophesy of you, the pretenders and hypocrites, as it stands written: These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far distant from Me. ⁷ In vain (fruitlessly and without profit) do they worship Me, ordering and teaching as doctrines the commandments and precepts of men. ⁸ You disregard and give up and ask to depart from you the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men . ⁹ And He said to them, You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition (your own human regulations)! ¹⁰ For Moses said, Honor (revere with tenderness of feeling and deference) your father and your mother, and, He who curses or reviles or speaks evil of or abuses or treats improperly his father or mother, let him surely die. ¹¹ But you say, A man is exempt if he tells father or mother, What you would otherwise have gained from me is Corban, that is, is a gift , ¹² Then you no longer are permitting him to do anything for father or mother . ¹³ Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect the Word of God through your tradition, which you hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing.
