3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews decline to eat till they wash their hands up to the wrist, in obedience to the tradition of the elders;
4 they decline to eat what comes from the market till they have washed it; and they have a number of other traditions to keep about washing cups and jugs and basins [and beds].)
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes put this question to him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders? Why do they take their food with 'common' hands?"
6 He said to them, "Isaiah made a grand prophecy about you hypocrites — as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me:
7 vain is their worship of me, for the doctrines they teach are but human precepts.
8 You drop what God commands and hold to human tradition.
9 Yes, forsooth," he added, "you set aside what God commands, so as to maintain your own tradition.
10 Thus, Moses said, Honour your father and mother, and, He who curses his father or mother is to suffer death.
11 But you say that if a man tells his father or mother, 'This money might have been at your service, but it is Korban' (that is, dedicated to God),
12 he is exempt, so you hold, from doing anything for his father or mother.
13 That is repealing the word of God in the interests of the tradition which you keep up. And you do many things like that."
