    6 He answered them, "Isaiah rightly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.'

    7 They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

    8 You have abandoned the commandment of God and hold onto human traditions, including the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other similar things."

    2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

    3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

    4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.’

    5 But you say that if anyone declares to their father or mother, ‘What you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’

    6 they are not to honor their father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
