“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.
`Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread . '
Jesus replied, And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
For God said , ‘Honor your father and mother and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death .’

but ye say , Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering `is' whatever thou mayest be profited by me ; --

They worship Me in vain ; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men. ’”

let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall . '
Peter said to Him, Explain this parable to us.
And Peter answering said to him, ` Explain to us this simile . '
“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
And Jesus said, `Are ye also yet without understanding?
Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated ?
do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth ?
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man .
but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth , and these defile the man ;
