Matthew 15

2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
But he answered and said to them, Why do ye too transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
For God commanded, saying, “Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
But ye say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is a gift [[to God]],
6 and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
he shall not honor his father or his mother. Thus have ye made void the law of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying,
8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
“This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
10 And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
And Peter answering said to him, Explain to us that dark saying.
16 But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
And he said, Are ye too still without discernment?
17 Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
Do ye not understand, that whatever entereth the mouth goeth into the stomach, and is cast out into the drain?
18 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
But the things which proceed from the mouth come out of the heart; and these defile a man.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimony, blasphemies.
20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
These are the things which defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man.
