MARK 7:1–7:13 ©

The Tradition of the Elders

The Tradition of the Elders

(Matthew 15:1–9)

7Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around [Jesus], 2and they saw some of His disciples eating [with] hands [that were] defiled—that is, unwashed.

3Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews {do} not eat until they wash [their] hands ceremonially.[fn] 4And [on returning] from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, [including] the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.[fn]

5So the Pharisees and scribes questioned [Jesus]: “Why {do} Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”

6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with [their] lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

7They worship Me in vain; they teach [as] doctrine [the] precepts of men.’[fn]

8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.[fn]

9He went on to say You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain[fn] your [own] tradition. 10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’[fn] and ‘Anyone who curses [his] father or mother must be put to death.’[fn] 11But you say that if a man says to [his] father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me [is] Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted [to God] ), 12he [is] no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother. 13[Thus] you nullify the word of God by [the] tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such [matters].”
