Mark 7:3-13

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].

10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

11But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by...

12And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;

13making void the word of 3God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
