Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:10 - And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:18 - But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:19 - For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:20 - these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
