THE CHRISTIANS HOPE: MATTHEW 15:1-6 THEN CAME TO JESUS SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, WHICH WERE OF JERUSALEM, SAYING, WHY DO THY DISCIPLES TRANSGRESS THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS? FOR THEY WASH NOT THEIR HANDS WHEN THEY EAT BREAD. BUT JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, WHY DO YE ALSO TRANGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD BY YOUR TRADITION? FOR GOD COMMANDED, SAYING, HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER: AND HE THAT CURSETH FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM DIE THE DEATH. BUT YE SAY, WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY TO HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, IT IS A GIFT, BY WHATSOEVER THOU MIGHTEST BE PROFITED BY ME; AND HONOUR NOT HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, HE SHALL BE FREE. THUS HAVE YE MADE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT BY YOUR TRADITION.
