¹³ Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

⁹ And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

¹⁴ Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

¹² Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.

²¹ Envy, uncontrolled drinking and feasting, and such things: of which I give you word clearly, even as I did in the past, that they who do such things will have no part in the kingdom of God.

³ Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

⁶ There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

¹⁷ Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

¹⁸ Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

¹⁹ Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

²⁰ For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁴ Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:

²⁰ Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...

⁸ How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

⁹ The wise men are shamed, they are overcome with fear and taken: see, they have given up the word of the Lord; and what use is their wisdom to them?
