1And the Farisees and summe of the scribis camen fro Jerusalem togidir to hym.
2And whanne thei hadden seen summe of hise disciplis ete breed with vnwaisschen hoondis, thei blameden.
3The Farisees and alle the Jewis eten not, but thei waisschen ofte her hoondis, holdynge the tradiciouns of eldere men.
4And whanne thei turnen ayen fro chepyng, thei eten not, but thei ben waisschen; and many other thingis ben, `that ben taken `to hem to kepe, wasschyngis of cuppis, and of watir vessels, and of vessels of bras, and of beddis.
5And Farisees and scribis axiden hym, and seiden, Whi gon not thi disciplis aftir the tradicioun of eldere men, but with vnwasschen hondis thei eten breed?
6And he answeride, and seide to hem, Ysaie prophesiede wel of you, ypocritis, as it is writun, This puple worschipith me with lippis, but her herte is fer fro me;
7and in veyn thei worschipen me, techinge the doctrines and the heestis of men.

9And he seide to hem, Wel ye han maad the maundement of God voide, `to kepe youre tradicioun.

17And whanne he was entrid in to an hous, fro the puple, hise disciplis axiden hym the parable.
18And he seide to hem, Ye ben vnwise also. Vndurstonde ye not, that al thing without forth that entreth in to a man, may not defoule hym?
19for it hath not entrid in to his herte, but in to the wombe, and bynethe it goith out, purgynge alle metis.
20But he seide, The thingis that gon out of a man, tho defoulen a man.
21For fro with ynne, of the herte of men comen forth yuel thouytis, auowtries,
