Verse 2

Why{G1302} do thy{G4675} disciples{G3101} transgress{G3845}{(G5719)} the tradition{G3862} of the elders{G4245}? for{G1063} they wash{G3538}{(G5731)} not{G3756} their{G846} hands{G5495} when{G3752} they eat{G2068}{(G5725)} bread{G740}.

Verse 9

But{G1161} in vain{G3155} they do worship{G4576}{(G5736)} me{G3165}, teaching{G1321}{(G5723)} for doctrines{G1319} the commandments{G1778} of men{G444}.
