Matthew 15:5-14

CAB(i) 5 But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "It is a gift to God, whatever profit you might have received from me"-- 6 then by no means should he honor his father or mother.' Thus you have nullified the commandment of God on account of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, 8 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and they honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' " 10 And having summoned the crowd, He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12 Then His disciples approached and said to Him, " You know that when the Pharisees heard this message they were offended?" 13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
