Matthew 15:2-20

Matthew 15:2-20

[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.  [15] Then  answered  Peter  and said  unto him,  Declare  parable.  [16] And  said,  also  yet  without understanding?  [17] understand,  that  whatsoever  entereth in  at  the mouth  goeth  into  the belly,  and  is cast out  into  the draught?  [18] But  those things which  proceed  out of  the mouth  come forth  from  the heart;  and they  defile  the man.  [19] For  out of  the heart  proceed  evil  thoughts,  murders,  adulteries,  fornications,  thefts,  false witness,  blasphemies:  [20] the things which  defile  a man:  but  to eat  with unwashen  hands  defileth  not  a man.
