Matthew 15:1-2
New Matthew Bible
Christ defends his disciples, and rebukes the scribes and Pharisees for transgressing God’s commandments through their own precepts. What goes into the mouth does not defile a man. He delivers the Canaanite woman’s daughter, heals the multitude, and with seven loaves and a few little fishes feeds 4,000 men, as well as women and children.
15 Then scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 Why do your disciples transgress the precepts of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
