Jesus answered, “Isaiah was right when he ·spoke [prophesied] about you hypocrites. ·He wrote [As it is written],

‘These people show honor to me with ·words [L their lips],
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me is ·worthless [futile; in vain].
    The things they teach are nothing but human ·rules [commandments; Is. 29:13].’

You ·have stopped following [neglected; abandoned] the commands of God, and you ·follow [hold on to] only human ·teachings[a] [traditions].”
