5So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands? 6He said to them, Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honors me with their lips,8You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.but their hearts are far from me;
7in vain do they worship me,teaching human precepts as doctrines.
14Then he called the crowd again and said to them, Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile. 21For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.
