Mark 7:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵The Pharisees and the experts in the law asked Jesus, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead they eat bread with unclean hands.”

⁶He answered them, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written:

These people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
⁷They worship me in vain, teaching human rules as if they
were doctrines.^[a]
