• Mark 7:6-9
  He answered and said to them, 'Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
  ' This people honors Me with their lips,
  But their heart is far from Me.
  And in vain they worship Me,
  Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
   
• Matthew 15:1-9
  Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 'Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.' He answered and said to them, 'Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, 'Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God" then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
  " These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
  Andhonor Me with their lips,
  But their heart is far from Me.
  And in vain they worship Me,
  Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.""
