A group of Pharisees from Jerusalem followed Jesus to Capernaum and found faul 1 with him because his disciples did not wish their, hands as often as their rules Jesus replied, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hyprocrites. This people honoreth me with their lips but their heart is far from me." They were putting human rules above God's, "Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition For Moses said, "Honor thy father and mother." To violate this law meant death, The Pharisees taught men to evade supporting their needy parents, by telling them that the money they expected was intended as an offering to God.

He sees in the Man of Nazareth a national leader who may drive i out the Romans and restore a free 1 Judea to a place among the na tions.

This was no requirement of God's law, but only "the tradition of the However, they were putting these human traditions above divine law, as Isaiah had foretold would be done. So Jesus replied to their criticism, saying, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it Is written. This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. Ye leave the commandment of and hold fast the, tradition of men." They were ignoring vital matters and stressing trifles. They were making religion a round of cold mechanics and of meaningless forms instead of a warm hearted fruitful service of God and men. Evading God's Law They even became Ingenious in contriving schemes by which they evaded God's law. God's law, "Honor thy father and thy mother," enjoined respect for and support of parents.

To help wicked sons to evade supporting their parents, the Pharisees taught them to "ear mark" all income and property, "Corban" or "Given to God." which might have been expected by their parents. God might never get the gift, but that mattered not; earmarking 1 for an offering kept parents from claiming it. With such devilish cunning these quib blers about non essentials were teaching wicked men how to justify their sin and selfishness. So Jesus rebuked them, saying, "Ye no longer suffer him to do ought for his father or his mother; making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do." Thus Jesus exposed the casuistry of those who in the name" of religion wicked men how to cheat even their needy parents ind do so within the ning p. m.

For the Pharisees, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders." Had these Pharisees come to seek facts instead of faults they could have discovered in Jesus' disciples men eager to live lives of righteousness, sincerity and helpfulness. They could have found numerous individuals and homes that had been made happier through these men's, efforts.

But it was not such facts they sought. They had come to find faults and all they could find was a lack of emphasis of some of Jesus' disciples on certain cere monial washing of hands before Clean Hand or Clean Hearts Whether men's hearts were clean mattered nothing to these critics provided only that their hands had been made clean by going, through certain prescribed motions, According to Eder sheini "the hands must be lifted up, sp as to make the' water run to the wrist, in order to make sure that the whole hand was washed, and that the water pol town, N. spent the week end visiting relatives in Wilcox.
