6 Jesus replied:You are nothing but show-offs! The prophet Isaiah was right when he wrote that God had said,“All of you praise mewith your words,but you never reallythink about me.
7 It is useless for youto worship me,when you teach rulesmade up by humans.”
8 You disobey God's commands in order to obey what humans have taught.
9 You are good at rejecting God's commands so that you can follow your own teachings!
10 Didn't Moses command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents?
11 But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they own has been offered to God.
12 You won't let those people help their parents.
