Teachings on Justice
Matthew 15: 1-9

Mat 15:1  Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 
Mat 15:2  “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 
Mat 15:3  He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 
Mat 15:4  For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 
Mat 15:5  But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” 
Mat 15:6  he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. 
Mat 15:7  You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 
Mat 15:8  “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 
Mat 15:9  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
