Jesus’ Warning About Self-Righteousness and Traditions

“Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites;

As it is written:

‘These people honor me with their lips,

But their hearts are far from me.

They worship me in vain;

Their teachings are merely human rules.’

You have let go of the commands of God

And are holding on to human traditions.

You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God

In order to observe your own traditions!

For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’

And, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother

Is to be put to death.’

But you say that if anyone declares

that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban

(that is, devoted to God)—

Then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.

Thus, you nullify the word of God by your tradition

That you have handed down.

And you do many things like that.”
