¹ Now the Pharisees and some of the experts in the law who came from Jerusalem gathered around him. ² And they saw that some of Jesus' disciples ate their bread with unclean hands, that is, unwashed. ³ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing, holding fast to the tradition of the elders. 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: 'is far from me. ⁷ 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.' ¹¹ But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, 'Whatever help you would have received from me is corban' (that is, a gift for God), ¹² then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother. ¹³ Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this."
