Matthew 15:1-9

Matthew(i) 1 Then came to Iesus Scribes and Phariseis from Hierusalem, sayinge: 2 why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicions of the elders? for thei washe not their handes when they eate bread. 3 He aunswered sayd vnto them: why do ye also transgresse the commaundement of God thorow your tradicions? 4 For God commaunded saying: honoure thy father and mother, and he that curseth father or mother shall suffre death. 5 But ye saye, euery man shal say to hys father or mother: that which thou desirest of me to helpe the with: is geuen to God, 6 and so shall he not honour hys father or mother. And thus haue ye made, that the commaundement of God is without effecte, thorow your tradicions. 7 Hypocrites, well prophecied of you Esaias sayinge: 8 Thys people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes, & honoureth me with their lippes, howe be it their hertes are farre from me: 9 but in vayne they worshippe me teaching doctrines, which are nothyng but mens preceptes.
