2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!” Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?

6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. he does not have to honor his father.’ In this way, you have revoked God’s word because of your tradition. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. he is not to honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said: Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:
8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; These people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commands of men.” But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ‘AND IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’”

11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?” Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?
18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”

They put them at His feet, and He healed them. And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: And large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.
