Matthew 15:1-20 : American Standard Version

1Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees
and scribes, saying, 2Why do thy disciples transgress
the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they
eat bread. 3And he answered and said unto them, Why do
ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He
that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
5But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to
God; 6he shall not honor his father. And ye have made
void the word of God because of your tradition. 7Ye
hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from
me. 9But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their
doctrines the precepts of men. 10And he called to him
the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that
which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man. 12Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father
planted not, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they
are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall
into a pit. 15And Peter answered and said unto him,
Declare unto us the parable. 16And he said, Are ye also
even yet without understanding? 17Perceive ye not, that
whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast
out into the draught? 18But the things which proceed out
of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
19For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
20these are the things which defile the man; but to eat
with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
