1 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from

Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands,

that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly

wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and

there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of

cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5 So 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?" 6 He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is

written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far

from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' 8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition."

14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of

you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the

things that come out are what defile."

21 For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come:

fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander,

pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."
