2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat! ”
3 He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?
4 For God said: Honor your father and your mother; and,The one who speaks evil of father or mothermust be put to death.
5 But you say, ‘Whoever tells his father or mother, “Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple” —
6 he does not have to honor his father.’ In this way, you have revoked God’s word because of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:
8 These people honor Me with their lips,but their heart is far from Me.
