Followers of Tradition

(Mat 15:1–20 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:1 - And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:3 - (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:4 - and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:5 - And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

This people honoreth me with their lips,

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

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:11 - but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:12 - ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:13 - making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

The Heart of Man

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:14 - And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:15 - there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:18 - And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:19 - because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:20 - And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:21 - For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:22 - covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:23 - all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
