Mark 7:3-13

3(For the PhariseesG5330 and allG3956 the other JewsG2453 do not eatG2068 unlessG1437G3361 they 1carefullyG4435 washG3538 their handsG5495, thereby holdingG2902 firmlyG2902 to the 2traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245; 4and when they come from the marketplaceG58, they do not eatG2068 unlessG1437G3361 they 3completelyG907 cleanseG907 themselves; and there are manyG4183 otherG243 thingsG4183 whichG3739 they have receivedG3880 as traditions to firmlyG2902 holdG2902, such as the 4washingG909 of 5cupsG4221, pitchersG3582, and copperG5473 potsG5473.) 5And the PhariseesG5330 and the scribesG1122 askedG1905 Him, “WhyG1223G5101 do Your disciplesG3101 not walkG4043 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the 6traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245, but eatG2068 their breadG740 with 78unholyG2839 handsG5495?” 6But He saidG3004 to them, “RightlyG2573 did IsaiahG2268 prophesyG4395 aboutG4012 you hypocritesG5273, as it is writtenG1125: ‘9ThisG3778 peopleG2992 honorsG5091 Me with their lipsG5491, But their heartG2588 is farG4206 awayG568G4206 from Me.710And inG3155 vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 Me, TeachingG1321 as doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.’ 8NeglectingG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, you holdG2902 to the 11traditionG3862 of menG444.”

9He was alsoG2532 sayingG3004 to them, “You are expertsG2573 at settingG114 asideG114 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 keepG5083 your 12traditionG3862. 10For MosesG3475 saidG3004, ‘13HonorG5091 your fatherG3962 and your motherG3384’; and, ‘14The one who speaksG2551 evilG2551 ofG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, is 15certainly to be putG5053 to deathG2288’; 11but you sayG3004, ‘IfG1437 a personG444 saysG3004 to his fatherG3962 orG2228 his motherG3384, whateverG3739G1437 I haveG1537 that would helpG5623 you is 16CorbanG2878 (that is, 17givenG1435 to God),’ 12you noG3765 longerG3765 allowG863 him to doG4160 anythingG3762 for his fatherG3962 orG2228 his motherG3384; 13thereby invalidatingG208 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 by your 18traditionG3862 whichG3739 you have handedG3860 downG3860; and you doG4160 manyG4183 thingsG4183 suchG3946 as that.”
