Mark 7:1-8

11The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come 2from Jerusalem, 2and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with 3impure hands, that is, unwashed. 3(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they 4carefully wash their hands, thus observing the 5traditions of the elders; 4and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they 6cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the 7washing of 8cups and pitchers and copper pots.) 5The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the 9tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with 10impure hands?” 6And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘11This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.712But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ 8Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the 13tradition of men.”
