|
|
2. They saw that some of Jesus' followers ate food with hands that were not clean, that is, they hadn't washed them.
|
2. And G2532 when they saw G1492 some G5100 of his G846 disciples G3101 eat G2068 bread G740 with defiled G2839 , that is to say G5123 , with unwashen G449 , hands G5495 , they found fault G3201 .
|
|
3. (The Pharisees and all the Jews never eat before washing their hands in a special way according to their unwritten laws.
|
3. For G1063 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 Jews G2453 , except G3362 they wash G3538 their hands G5495 oft G4435 , eat G2068 not G3756 , holding G2902 the G3588 tradition G3862 of the G3588 elders G4245 .
|
|
4. And when they buy something in the market, they never eat it until they wash themselves in a special way. They also follow many other unwritten laws, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, and pots.)
|

|
|
5. The Pharisees and the teachers of the law said to Jesus, "Why don't your followers obey the unwritten laws which have been handed down to us? Why do your followers eat their food with hands that are not clean?"
|
5. Then G1899 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 and G2532 scribes G1122 asked G1905 him G846 , Why G1302 walk G4043 not G3756 thy G4675 disciples G3101 according G2596 to the G3588 tradition G3862 of the G3588 elders G4245 , but G235 eat G2068 bread G740 with unwashen G449 hands G5495 ?

|
6. Jesus answered, "Isaiah was right when he spoke about you hypocrites. He wrote, 'These people show honor to me with words, but their hearts are far from me.
|
6. G1161 He G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them G846 , Well G2573 hath Isaiah G2268 prophesied G4395 of G4012 you G5216 hypocrites G5273 , as G5613 it is written G1125 , This G3778 people G2992 honoreth G5091 me G3165 with their lips G5491 , but G1161 their G846 heart G2588 is far G568 G4206 from G575 me G1700 .
|
|
7. Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are nothing but human rules.'
|
7. Howbeit G1161 in vain G3155 do they worship G4576 me G3165 , teaching G1321 for doctrines G1319 the commandments G1778 of men G444 .
|
|
8. You have stopped following the commands of God, and you follow only human teachings."
|
8. For G1063 laying aside G863 the G3588 commandment G1785 of God G2316 , ye hold G2902 the G3588 tradition G3862 of men G444 , as the washing G909 of pots G3582 and G2532 cups G4221 : and G2532 many G4183 other G243 such G5108 like things G3946 ye do G4160 .
|
|
9. Then Jesus said to them, "You cleverly ignore the commands of God so you can follow your own teachings.
|
9. And G2532 he said G3004 unto them G846 , Full well G2573 ye reject G114 the G3588 commandment G1785 of God G2316 , that G2443 ye may keep G5083 your own G5216 tradition G3862 .
|
|
10. Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.'
|
10. For G1063 Moses G3475 said G2036 , Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 thy G4675 mother G3384 ; and, whoso curseth G2551 father G3962 or G2228 mother G3384 , let him die G5053 the death G2288 :
|
|
11. But you say a person can tell his father or mother, 'I have something I could use to help you, but it is Corban -- a gift to God.'
|
11. But G1161 ye G5210 say G3004 , If G1437 a man G444 shall say G2036 to his father G3962 or G2228 mother G3384 , It is Corban G2878 , that is to say G3603 , a gift G1435 , by whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou mightest be profited G5623 by G1537 me G1700 ; he shall be free .
|
|
12. You no longer let that person use that money for his father or his mother.
|
12. And G2532 ye suffer G863 him G846 no more G3765 to do G4160 aught G3762 for his G848 father G3962 or G2228 his G848 mother G3384 ;
|
|
13. By your own rules, which you teach people, you are rejecting what God said. And you do many things like that."
|
13. Making the word of God of none effect G208 G3588 G3056 G2316 through your G5216 tradition G3862 , which G3739 ye have delivered G3860 : and G2532 many G4183 such G5108 like things G3946 do G4160 ye.
|
|
14. After Jesus called the crowd to him again, he said, "Every person should listen to me and understand what I am saying.
|
14. And G2532 when he had called G4341 all G3956 the G3588 people G3793 unto him, he said G3004 unto them G846 , Hearken G191 unto me G3450 every one G3956 of you, and G2532 understand G4920 :
|
|
15. There is nothing people put into their bodies that makes them unclean. People are made unclean by the things that come out of them."
|
15. There is G2076 nothing G3762 from without G1855 a man G444 , that G3739 entering G1531 into G1519 him G846 can G1410 defile G2840 him G846 : but G235 the things which come G1607 out of G575 him G846 , those G1565 are G2076 they that defile G2840 the G3588 man G444 .
