Matthew 15:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(B) people [a]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
(C)Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
