WNT(i)
2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
3 "Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God said, 'HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER'; and 'LET HIM WHO REVILES FATHER OR MOTHER BE CERTAINLY PUT TO DEATH';
5 but you--this is what you say: 'If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me--
6 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
8 "'THIS IS A PEOPLE WHO HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, WHILE THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME;
9 BUT IT IS IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, WHILE THEY LAY DOWN PRECEPTS WHICH ARE MERE HUMAN RULES.'"
