Mark 7:2-8

2AndG2532 when they sawG1492 someG5100 of hisG846 disciplesG3101 eatingG2068 breadG740 with defiledG2839, that is to sayG5123, with unwashedG449, handsG5495, they found faultG3201.1

3ForG1063 the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 allG3956 the JewsG2453, exceptG3362 they washG3538 their handsG5495 oftenG4435, eatG2068 notG3756, holdingG2902 the traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245.2

4AndG2532 when they come fromG575 the marketG58, exceptG3362 they washG907, they eatG2068 notG3756. AndG2532 manyG4183 other thingsG243 there areG2076, whichG3739 they have receivedG3880 to holdG2902, as the washingG909 of cupsG4221, andG2532 potsG3582, and of brasen vesselsG5473, andG2532 tablesG2825.34

5ThenG1899 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 askedG1905 himG846, WhyG1302 walkG4043 notG3756 thyG4675 disciplesG3101 accordingG2596 to the traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245, butG235 eatG2068 breadG740 with unwashedG449 handsG5495?

6He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 to themG846, WellG2573 hath IsaiahG2268 prophesiedG4395 concerningG4012 youG5216 hypocritesG5273, asG5613 it is writtenG1125, ThisG3778 peopleG2992 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491, butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.

7ButG1161 in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.

8ForG1063 laying asideG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, ye holdG2902 the traditionG3862 of menG444, as the washingG909 of potsG3582 andG2532 cupsG4221: andG2532 manyG4183 otherG243 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 ye doG4160.
