Mark 7:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?

⁶ But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷ And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
