This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
15:1 Obeying God versus tradition
15 Then some from the Pharisees’ party and teachers of the law from Yerusalem arrived and asked Yeshua, 2 “Why do your followers break the traditions handed down by our elders? They’re not practicing the washing hands ceremony before eating.”
3 “Well why also do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?” Yeshua responded. 4 [ref]“God told us to honour our father and our mother, and also that anyone who speaks evil about their father or mother deserves the death penalty. 5 But you all say that anyone who tells their father or mother that whatever help they may have expected from you is now given as a gift, 6 then you say that they’re not actually dishonouring their parents. So by saying that, you’re overriding God’s message with your own tradition. 7 You hypocrites! The prophet Isayah was right about you all when he wrote:[ref]
8 ‘These people honour me with their lips,
But their hearts are far away from me.
9 Their worship of me is useless,
They teach human ideas as if they’re commandments.’ ”
