And he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.

For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings. These are things defiling the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
