Tree of Life Version
Mark 7:2-9
2And they saw that some of His disciples were eating bread with unclean hands, that is, not washed.
3(For the Pharisees and all Jewish people do not eat unless they wash their hands up to the elbow, keeping the tradition of the elders.
4And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing. There are many other traditions they have received and hold, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels.)
5The Pharisees and Torah scholars questioned Yeshua, “Why don’t Your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders? Why do they eat bread with unwashed hands?”
6And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors Me with their lips but their heart is far from Me.
7And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8Having left behind the commandment of God, you hold on to the tradition of men.”
9He was also telling them, “You set aside the commands of God, in order that you may validate your own tradition.
