Matthew 15:19-20
19For out of the heart come aevil thoughts, bmurder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, cslander. 20 dThese are what defile a person. But eto eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”Mark 7:4-13
4and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. ▼ And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as gthe washing of hcups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches. ▼▼Some manuscripts omit and dining couches
) 5And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to jthe tradition of kthe elders, lbut eat with mdefiled hands?” 6And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you nhypocrites, as it is written, o“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7in vain do they worship me,
teaching as pdoctrines the commandments of men.’
8You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
9And he said to them, “You have a fine way of qrejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10For Moses said, r‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, s‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God) ▼
▼Or an offering
— 12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13thus umaking void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.” Luke 11:39-40
39And the Lord said to him, v“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of wgreed and wickedness. 40 xYou fools! yDid not he who made the outside make the inside also?
