MSB(i)
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5 But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6 then he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouths, and they honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
