1 Then came to Iesus Scribes and Pharisees, which were of Hierusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgresse the tradition of the Elders? for they wash not their handes when they eat bread.
3 But hee answered, and said vnto them, Why doe you also transgresse the Commandement of God by your tradition?
4 For God commaunded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: And hee that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But yee say, Whosoeuer shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift by whatsoeuer thou mightest bee profited by me,
6 And honour not his father or his mother, hee shall be free. Thus haue yee made the Commaundement of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Yee hypocrites, well did Esaias prophecie of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh vnto mee with their mouth, and honoureth mee with their lips: but their heart is farre from me.
9 But in vaine they do worship me, teaching for doctrines, the commandements of men.
