Gospel : Matthew 15:1-2, 10-14）
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
2 "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."
12 Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
13 But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

Jeremiah 30:1-2, 12-15, 18-22
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 "the LORD, the God of Israel, says, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
12 For the LORD says,
"Your hurt is incurable,
and your wound grievous.
13 There is no one to plead your cause,
that you may be bound up.
You have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you.
They don't seek you:
for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
with the chastisement of a cruel one,
for the greatness of your iniquity,
because your sins were increased.
15 Why do you cry for your hurt?
Your pain is incurable:
for the greatness of your iniquity,
because your sins were increased,
I have done these things to you.
18 the LORD says:
"Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents,
and have compassion on his dwelling places.
The city shall be built on its own hill,
and the palace shall be inhabited in its own place.
19 Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
and the voice of those who make merry.
I will multiply them,
and they shall not be few;
I will also glorify them,
and they will not be small.
20 Their children also shall be as before,
and their congregation shall be established before me.
I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their prince shall be of themselves,
and their ruler shall proceed from amongst them.
I will cause him to draw near,
and he shall approach to me;
for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me?" says the LORD.
22 "You shall be my people,
and I will be your God.
