how they went into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of shew-bread, of which it was not lawful for him or those who were with him to eat, but for the priests alone? Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are not culpable? Now I tell you, That one greater than the temple is here. But if ye had known what that meant, I desire mercy and not sacrifice; ye would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread? And he answering said to them, And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition?

For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, and couches. Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? read more.
Then he answering said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men."

And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition.

AND it came to pass on the sabbath after the second day of the passover, that he was passing through the cornfields; and the disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them out in their hands. Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath-day? And Jesus answering said to them; Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him? read more.
how he entered into the house of God, and took the loaves of shew-bread, and did eat, and gave also to those who were with him; which it was not lawful for any to eat, but the priests alone? And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day. And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was shrunk. Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him. Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up. Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it? And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other. But they were filled with madness, and talked earnestly to each other what they could do to Jesus.

For Moses said, "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and "he that curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to death."

then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you, saying, This people draweth nigh to me with their mouths, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is far distant from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men. And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but what cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man. Then his disciples approaching, said to him, Knowest thou how offended the Pharisees were at hearing that speech? Then he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. Leave them to themselves: they are blind leaders of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit. Then Peter answering said unto him, Explain to us this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence? Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault? But the things which go forth out of the mouth, come out of the heart, and they are the things which defile a man: for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies: these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
