^{2 Ref} and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault;

^{3 Ref} for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

^{4 Ref} and, `coming' from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

^{5 Ref} Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

^{6 Ref} and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

^{7 Ref} and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

^{8 Ref} for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

^{9 Ref} And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

^{10 Ref} for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

^{11 Ref} and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), `is' whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹² and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

^{13 Ref} setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
