4. And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches.)
5. The Pharisees and the experts in the law asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”
6. He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:‘This people honors me with their lips,but their heart is far from me.
7. They worship me in vain,teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’
8. Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”
9. He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.
10. For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’
