1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees that were of Jerusalem, saying:
2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said to them: And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
5 But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might profit you, is a gift, he must in no way honor his father or his mother;
6 and you make the commandment of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain, do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
