Matthew 15 New International Version (NIV) That Which Defiles 15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 �Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don�t wash their hands before they eat!� 3 Jesus replied, �And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, �Honor your father and mother�[a> and �Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.� 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is �devoted to God,� 6 they are not to �honor their father or mother� with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 ��These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules. �[c> � 10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, �Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone�s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.� 12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, �Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?� 13 He replied, �Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d> If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.� 15 Peter said, �Explain the parable to us.� 16 �Are you still so dull?� Jesus asked them. 17 �Don�t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person�s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts�murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.�
What a gem. Guess 'God' aka Jesus did not know about cholera, ebola, dysentry etc.
PS: two wrongs do not make a right.
