Matthew 15 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

3 But he answering said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:

4 Honour father and mother. And: He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.

5 But you say: whosoever shall say to father or mother, the gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee:

6 And shall not honour his father or his mother: & you have made frustrate the commandment of God for your own tradition.

7 Hypocrites, well hath Esay Prophesied of you, saying:

8 This People honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.

9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

10 And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.

11 Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth a man: but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, that defileth a man.

12 Then came his Disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?

13 But he answering said: All planting which my Heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

14 Let them alone: blind they are, guides of the blind. And if the blind be guide to the blind, both fall into the ditch.

15 And Peter answering said to him: Expound us this parable.

16 But he said: Are you also as yet without understanding?

17 Do you not understand, that all that entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast forth into the privy?

18 But the things that proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.

19 For from the heart come forth evil cogitations, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

20 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashen hands, doth not defile a man.
