15:2 "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

15:3a  He answered them, 15:7 "You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 15:8 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 15:9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'*
