Matthew 15:5-14 but your doctrine is this, if any man declares to his father or mother, that whatever he has to give for their relief is dedicated to the temple; he is not oblig'd to regard his father or his mother.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ but your doctrine is this, if any man declares to his father or mother, that whatever he has to give for their relief is dedicated to the temple; he is not oblig'd to regard his father or his mother. ⁶ thus have ye disannull'd the commandment of God by your tradition. ⁷ the prophecy of Esaias exactly suits such hypocrites as you; ⁸ "this people, says he, draw nigh to me, they honour me with their lips: while their hearts are far from me. ⁹ but in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the institutions of men." ¹⁰ Then he called the multitude and said to them, hear and understand. ¹¹ that which entereth by the mouth is not what defiles a man: but what defiles the man is that which is discharged by the mouth. ¹² Thereupon his disciples drawing nigh, said, did you observe, how the Pharisees were scandalized at your discourse? ¹³ but he answered, every plantation which my heavenly father hath not planted shall be rooted up. ¹⁴ let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. now if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
