Then came to Iesus Scribes and Pharisees, which were of Hierusalem, saying,

Why do thy disciples transgresse the tradition of the Elders? for they wash not their handes when they eat bread.

But hee answered, and said vnto them, Why doe you also transgresse the Commandement of God by your tradition?

For God commaunded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: And hee that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

But yee say, Whosoeuer shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift by whatsoeuer thou mightest bee profited by me,

And honour not his father or his mother, hee shall be free. Thus haue yee made the Commaundement of God of none effect by your tradition.

Yee hypocrites, well did Esaias prophecie of you, saying,

This people draweth nigh vnto mee with their mouth, and honoureth mee with their lips: but their heart is farre from me.

But in vaine they do worship me, teaching for doctrines, the commandements of men.
