September 13
Introduction
The religious leaders challenge Jesus about ritual cleansing, and Jesus upbraids them for their hypocrisy and quotes from Isaiah 29:13. He accuses the religious leaders of following their own teaching and disobeying God's command. Jesus declares that evil ideas within one's heart that come out of one's mouth are what make a person unclean.
