Mark 7:4-6
New Living Translation
4 Similarly, they don’t eat anything from the market until they immerse their hands[a] in water. This is but one of many traditions they have clung to—such as their ceremonial washing of cups, pitchers, and kettles.[b])
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of religious law asked him, “Why don’t your disciples follow our age-old tradition? They eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony.”
6 Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,
‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
