Mark 7:3-13

Great^{(i) 3} For the Pharyses and all the Iewes, excepte they wasshe theyr handes ofte, eate not, obseruyng the tradicyons of the elders. ⁴ And when they come from the market, except they washe, they eate not. And many other thynges there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the wasshynge of cuppes and cruses, and, brasen vessels, and of tables. ⁵ Then asked hym the Pharyses & Scribes: why walke not thy dyscyples accordyng to the custome, ordeyned by the elders, but eate bread wyth vnwasshen handes? ⁶ He answered & sayd vnto them: well prophesyed Esayas of you, ypocrytes, as it is wrytten: Thys people honoreth me wyth theyr lyppes, but theyr herte is farre from me: ⁷ howbeit, in vayne do they serue me, teachyng the doctrines and commaundementes of men. ⁸ For ye laye the commaundement of God a parte, & obserue the constitucyons of men, as the wesshinge of cruses & of cuppes, and many other soch lyke thynges ye do. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: well, ye cast a syde the commaundement of God, to mayntayne youre awne constitucyons. ¹⁰ For Moses sayd: honoure thy father & thy mother: & whoso curseth father or mother, let him dye the death. ¹¹ But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother, Corban: whych is: what gyfte soeuer commeth fro me, shalbe for thy profyt. ¹² And so ye suffre him no more to do ought for hys father or his mother, ¹³ and make the worde of God of none effecte, through youre awne constitucyon whych ye haue ordeyned. And many soche thynges do ye.
