Thus have you made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

And there are many other things which they have received to hold, like the washing of cups, pots, bronze vessels, and tables. 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? 6 He answered and said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 However, in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, such as the washing of pots and cups; and many other similar things you do. 9 And he said to them, You completely reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him be put to death. 11 But you say, If a man says to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is, a gift to God, by which you might have been benefited by me; he shall be free. 12 And you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother, 13 Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition, which you have handed down; and you do many similar things.
