1 - Some Pharisees and scribes who had come from Jerusalem had gathered around him. 2 And they noticed some of his disciples ate without washing their hands first. 3 For the Pharisees and their followers when they come from the marketplaces, and before they eat, wash their hands a certain traditional way. 4 And there are many other traditions they observe, certain ways of washing cups, pots, copper vessels and dining couches.

      5 So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? But are eating with unwashed hands?” 6 And he answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy, ‘You honor me with your lips, and your heart is far from me. 7 In vain do you worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 For you abandon the commandment of God and you hold to men’s traditions. 9 You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to have your own tradition! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and, ‘Woe to whoever neglects father or mother.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban/put in trust, as put aside for God, 12 then they don’t have to do anything for their father or mother! 13 Thus canceling the word of God by your {self serving} tradition, you’ve handed down. And there are many more things like this which you do.”
