S. 6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites,
as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is
far from me.7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the
tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like
things ye do.9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own tradition.10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and
thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:11 But
ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to
say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.12
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;13 Making
the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered:
and many such like things do ye.
O. Jesus
speaks of vain worship and hypocrisy that id based on the traditions of man. He
does not condemn tradition except when the tradition is taught as doctrine.
A. I
will use the words of Jesus as my doctrine and only observe man’s traditions that
are in harmony with the teachings of Jesus.
P. Father;
help me Father to live my life in total obedience to you and your word. Show me
the differences between the tradition of man and your commandments that I may
teach others. Amen.
