New Testament

Matthew 15:6-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

7. Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8. This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

9. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

10. And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

11. Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

12. Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

13. But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.

14. Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
