Verse 2

Why do thy disciples transgresse the traditions of the elders? for they washe not their handes when they eate bread.

Verse 3

But he aunswered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse the commaundement of God, by your tradition?

Verse 4

For God comaunded, saying: honour father and mother, and he that curseth father or mother, let hym dye the death.

Verse 5

But ye say, whosoeuer shall say to father or mother: by the gyft that is offered of me, thou shalt be helped:

Verse 6

And so shall he not honour his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made the commaundement of God, of none effect, by your tradition.

Hypocrites, full well dyd Esayas prophecie of you, saying:

Verse 8

This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lippes: howbeit, their hearts are farre from me.

Verse 10

And he called the people to hym, and sayde vnto them: heare, & vnderstande.

Verse 16

Iesus sayde: Are ye also without vnderstandyng?

Verse 17

Do not ye yet vnderstande, that whatsoeuer entreth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Verse 18

But those thynges which proceade out of the mouth, come foorth from the heart, and they defyle the man.

Verse 19

For out of the heart, proceade euyll thoughtes, murders, adulteries, whordomes, theftes, false witnesse, blasphemyes.
