Matthew 15:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

9. For in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.' "

10. And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: "Listen and understand.

11. A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man."

12. Then his disciples drew near and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?"
