Mark 7:7 Context
5Then the Pharises and Scribes asked him, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate bread with vnwashen hands? 6He answered and said vnto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you Hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth mee with their lips, but their heart is farre from me. 7Howbeit in vaine doe they worship me, teaching for doctrines, the commandements of men. 8For laying aside the Commandement of God, yee hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots, and cups: and many other such like things ye doe. 9And he said vnto them, Full well ye reiect the Commandement of God, that ye may keepe your owne tradition.
