Mark 7:4-13 Even the things from the market, if they are not washed, they would not eat them. And there are a great many other things, which they have accepted to obey, such as the washing of cups and pots, and copper utensils, and the bedding of dead men.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Even the things from the market, if they are not washed, they would not eat them. And there are a great many other things, which they have accepted to obey, such as the washing of cups and pots, and copper utensils, and the bedding of dead men. ⁵ And the scribes and Pharisees asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed? ⁶ He said to them, The prophet Isaiah well prophesied about you, O hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me. ⁷ And they worship me in vain, when they teach the doctrines of the commandments of men. ⁸ For you have ignored the commandment of God, and you observe the tradition of men, such as the washing of cups and pots, and a great many other things like these. ⁹ He said to them, Well you do injustice to the commandment of God so as to sustain your own tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death. ¹¹ But you say, If a man may say to his father or his mother, What is left over is Corban (my offering); ¹² And yet you do not let him do anything for his father or mother. ¹³ So you dishonor the word of God for the sake of the tradition which you have established; and you do a great many like these.
