Mark 7:2-9

2and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

3(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

4and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

5then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

6But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

7But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.

8[For], leaving the commandment of 1God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] — washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

9And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of 2God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].
