Mark 7:3-9

3(For the PhariseesG5330 and allG3956 the JewsG2453 do not eatG2068 unlessG1437G3361 they 1carefullyG4435 washG3538 their handsG5495, thus observingG2902 the 2traditionsG3862 of the eldersG4245; 4and when they come from the marketG58 placeG58, they do not eatG2068 unlessG1437G3361 they 3cleanseG4472 themselves; and there are manyG4183 otherG243 thingsG4183 whichG3739 they have receivedG3880 in order to observeG2902, such as the 4washingG909 of 5cupsG4221 and pitchersG3582 and copperG5473 potsG5473.) 5The PhariseesG5330 and the scribesG1122 askedG1905 Him, “WhyG1223G5101 do Your disciplesG3101 not walkG4043 accordingG2596 to the 6traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245, but eatG2068 their breadG740 with 7impureG2839 handsG5495?” 6And He saidG3004 to them, “RightlyG2573 did IsaiahG2268 prophesyG4395 of you hypocritesG5273, as it is writtenG1125: ‘8ThisG3778 peopleG2992 honorsG5091 Me with their lipsG5491, But their heartG2588 is farG4206 awayG568G4206 from Me.79But in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 Me, TeachingG1321 as doctrinesG1319 the preceptsG1778 of menG444.’ 8NeglectingG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, you holdG2902 to the 10traditionG3862 of menG444.”

9He was alsoG2532 sayingG3004 to them, “You are expertsG2573 at settingG114 asideG114 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 in orderG2443 to keepG5083 your 11traditionG3862.
