These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me…And in vain they worship Me.

Matthew Chapter 15 - The Holy Bible.  

The Scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."    He answered them …..

"Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?  "For God commanded saying "Honor your father and 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, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me…And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men"..
