Mark 7:4-13

Worrell(i) 4 and, coming from the marketplace, unless they immerse themselves, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they received to hold; as, immersion of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels. 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask Him, "Why do not Thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" 6 And He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, This people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. 7 But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. 8 Having left the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men." 9 And He said to them, "Well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may hold your tradition! 10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He that speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die.' 11 But ye say, 'If a man say to his father or mother, That wherewith you might be profited by me is Corban,' that is, 'an offering to God,' 12 ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye handed down; and many such things ye do."
