^{1 Ref} Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

^{2 Ref} Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.

^{3 Ref} And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

^{4 Ref} For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

^{5 Ref} But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

^{6 Ref} 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.

^{7 Ref} You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,

^{8 Ref} These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

^{9 Ref} But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
