Matthew 15:9- MATHN DE SEBONTAI ME, DIDASKONTES DIDASKALIAS ENTALMATA 
ANQRWPWN.
I know from checking translations that this means; But in vain do they 
worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.
I don't understand the second part of this verse. -Teaching doctrines 
precepts of men- is what it says word for word.  What is in this sentence 
that makes it mean; -Teaching AS doctrines precepts of men- or -Teaching 
precepts of men AS IF THEY WERE doctrines.

Bert de Haan.
