¹ Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying, ² Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands. ³ And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you? ⁴ For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death. ⁵ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God; ⁶ There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching. ⁷ You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you, ⁸ These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁹ But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
