- The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,
- and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.
- (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;
- and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)
- The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?"
|
- And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
- 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'
- "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."
- He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.
- "For Moses said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, 'HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';
|
- but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'
- you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;
- thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."
- After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:
- there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.
|
- ["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."]
- When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.
- And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
- because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
- And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
|
- "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
- deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
- "All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
