Matthew 15-3 - And he answered them and said, "Why do you transgress God's commandments for your tradition?"
In so saying, he refuses to play on the same level as the Pharisees and scribes. Rather than making distinctions about doctrine and practice, he points to God, reminding his audience that the ways of men are less important than God's commandments. We are all on the same level in relation to God. There is no "us" and "them" for Jesus. There is only we. And we are called to follow God, not the traditions of people.
