1 Then came to Jesus from Jerusalem the scribes and Pharisees, saying,
2 Wherefore do thy disciples pass by the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 And he, having answered, said to them, Wherefore do ye also pass by the command of God by your tradition
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, he calumniating father or mother, in death let him die.
5 And ye say, Whoever should say to father or mother, A gift, whatever thou shouldest be profited by me;
6 And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition.
7 Hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draw near me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart keeps off far from me.
9 But they worship me in vain, teaching doctrines the commands of men.
10 And having called the crowd, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand.
11 Not that coming into the mouth pollutes the man; but that going forth out of the mouth, this pollutes the man.
12 Then his disciples having come near, said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were scandalized?
13 And having answered, he said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 And Peter, having answered, said to him, Explain to us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet destitute of understanding?
17 Do ye not yet understand, that everything going into the mouth proceeds to the belly, and is cast out in the privy?
18 But the things going forth out of the mouth come from the heart, and these pollute the man.
19 For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations:
20 These are the things polluting a man: but to eat with unwashed hands pollutes not a man.
