MLV(i)
2 Why are your disciples transgressing the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands whenever they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘He who is speaking evil of their father or mother, let him be ended by the sentence of death.’ 5 But you say, Whoever says to his father or his mother, in whatever you might have been profited from me, it is a gift to God, 6 and then should never honor his father and mother, and thus you invalidated the commandment of God because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied well concerning you, saying, 8 ‘These people are drawing near to me with their mouth, and are honoring me with their lips, but their heart is faraway from me. 9 But they are worshiping me in futility, teaching as their teachings–the commandments of men.’
