Matthew 15:1-14

Matthew 15:1-14

[1] Then  came  to Jesus  scribes  and  Pharisees,  which were of  Jerusalem,  saying,  [2] disciples  transgress  the tradition  of the elders?  for  they wash  not  their  hands  when  they eat  bread.  [3] But  he answered  and said  unto them,  also  transgress  the commandment  of God  by  tradition?  [4] For  God  Honour  father  and  mother:  and,  He that curseth  father  or  mother,  let him die  the death.  [5] But  say,  Whosoever  shall say  to his father  or  his mother,  It is a gift,  by  whatsoever  thou mightest be profited  [6] And  honour  his  father  or  his  mother,  he shall be free. Thus  of God  of none effect  by  tradition.  [7] Ye hypocrites,  well  Esaias  prophesy  of  saying,  [8] This  people  with their  honoureth  with their lips;  but  their  heart  is  far  from  [9] But  in vain  they do worship  teaching  for doctrines  the commandments  of men.  [10] And  he called  the multitude,  and said  unto them,  Hear,  and  understand  [11] Not  that which goeth  into  the mouth  defileth  a man;  but  that which cometh  out of  the mouth,  defileth  a man.  [12] Then  came  his  disciples,  unto him,  Knowest thou  that  the Pharisees  were offended,  after they heard  this saying?  [13] But  he answered  and said,  Every  plant,  which  heavenly  Father  not  planted,  shall be rooted up.  [14] them  alone:  blind  leaders  of the blind.  And  if  the blind  lead  the blind,  both  shall fall  into  the ditch.
