Musing The Bible Mark 7
5 Why do Your disciples not live by the traditions of the elders?
6 Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.’
7 Their worship of Me is a farce. Their teachings are but rules taught by men.
8 Having no regard for the commandment of God, you substitute the tradition of men.
9 You have a fine way of setting aside and making the commandment of God without a place in order to keep your tradition!
13 Thus depriving the Word of God of authority by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things like this.
