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.
9Then he said to them, You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!
