âThe Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem, and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders; and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.) The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, âWhy do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?â And He said to them, âRightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: âTHIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MENâ [Isaiah 29:13, LXX]. Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.â He was also saying to them, âYou are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. For Moses said, âHONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHERâ [Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16]; and, âHE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATHâ [Exodus 21:17]; but you say, âIf a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),â you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.â After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, âListen to Me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.â When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. And He said to them, âAre you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?â (Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He was saying, âThat which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the manââ (NASU).
