Mark 7:5 Context
3For the Pharises and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not. And many other things there be, which they haue receiued to hold, as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 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.
